51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark maintain directory services for client applications. Basic OpenDJ
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark installation, especially using Java WebStart, can be simple and
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark straightforward, particularly if you are already acquainted with directory
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark services. Upgrading a running directory service without a single point of
51607ea01068c9047391e4c8b46bc9dbd0edb7fdmark failure that can cause downtime requires at least a little thought
