2. Project Summary
   2.1. Project Description:
	LSARC 2008/691 describes integration of OpenDS server in
	OpenSolaris and has already been approved.
	This project intend to deliver the OpenDS tools in OpenSolaris.

   2.2. Risks and Assumptions:
	None.

3. Business Summary
	OpenDS users need the versions of these CLI tools provided with OpenDS.
	While there are already two sets of LDAP tools in OpenSolaris, there
	are a number of diffenrences with the OpenDS tools that justify
	their addition in OpenSolaris :
	- Some options available in the OpenDS tools are not available in the
	  OpenSolaris tools.
	- Parity between packages and zip.
	- The OpenDS documentation reference the OpenDS tools, users of
	  OpenDS might find confusing the
	- Easier transition from of users from Zip to IPS packages
	- Ability to use the same technology for cert management on the  
client and
	  the server side.

4. Technical Description:
    4.1. Details:
	The proposal is to update the OpenDS package described in LSARC  
2008/691
	to include the OpenDS LDAP tools.  These four additional tools will be
	shipped in the same directory as the others OpenDS binaries :

	/usr/opends/bin/ldapsearch
	/usr/opends/bin/ldapmodify
	/usr/opends/bin/ldapcompare
	/usr/opends/bin/ldapdelete

	In general, the OpenDS versions of these utilities are upward- 
compatible
	with the existing versions in /usr/bin. However, a number of additional
	CLI options are supported by the OpenDS versions, and some of the  
shared
	CLI options have somewhat different behavior. The differences are
	numerous, and the full CLI syntax for each utility is provided at the
	web link below for each new interface.

    4.5. Interfaces:

	OpenDS package.
