Description

Geronimo documentation at http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/ldap-sample-application.html talks about org.apache.geronimo.configs/directory in system modules, but that does not exist in Geronimo 2.0.2.

There is also a reference to Geronimo plugins. However, when I go to Plugins in the Geronimo console and search the geronimo-2.0.2 reposityory there is nothing related to ApacheDS or Directory. Like if the ApacheDS function was completely missing.

The ApacheDS plugin should be added to the 2.0.2 plugin repository. The documentation should be updated to give the steps how to install ApacheDS with or without the plugin. The LDAP demo is useless if ApacheDS is unavailable.

I found this much earlier discussion on the topic:

Frankly, I don't think that the forward compatibility is so much an issue, but 2.0.2 completely lacking LDAP server. Would be better have it, even without forward compatibility.
