Apple supplies Directory Assistant which requires the ability to accurate define a FQDN or (FQOU if you are a microsofty) yet Apple supplies no way to efficiently retrieve such information. With LDapper X, I have been able to retrieve such information but not easily as there is no SSL support.

LDapper's interface is somewhat clunky as it stores the 'setup document' information in the preferences. If someone has more than one LDAP system to scan, this is cumbersome. Sharing a setup is also painful and is most easily done via screen shots of the LDapper preferences (gad).

Really thankful that the application is here. Just as disappointed in Apple for not providing a better one in Mac OS X which so heavily relies on LDAP. Right now LDapper is the only game in town and thankfully it is not bad; not great but not bad. But without SSL support, the larger LDAP systems (say DoD) are completely inaccessible. This is holding Macintosh back in the Army in fact.

Big thanks to Carl Bell for writing it. Would be happy to pay for 'LDapper Pro'
