OpenLDAP, ApacheDS and OpenDS are three open source LDAP implementations that run on Windows.

  • OpenLDAP is written and C, and must be compiled on Windows - this is probably a bit of a hassle if you just want an LDAP server and client for testing.
  • ApacheDS and OpenDS are written in Java, making them much easier to set up on Windows. They both come with a graphical installer.
  • ApacheDS also provides Apache Directory Studio which is very good LDAP client with a nice user interface. It also has a built-in LDAP server that can be launched by a simple click.

Depending on your requirements, check out these three projects. If you're starting out, I recommend going with Apache Directory Studio, which will save you some hassle.

Install Apache Directory Studio, which is a client and can run a server within. Good learning! – Jonathan Clarke Feb 4 '10 at 14:23

LDAP browser? Auth client? Server? Include way more info of what you want to do.

Check out Active Directory Application Mode for LDAP server. While this is not open source it may be a good fit for you since you use Windows OS. Plus it should be covered under your existing Windows XP license.

For LDAP client why not just use .Net Framework DirectoryServices?
