Description

ApacheDS struggles with passivity. For example, updating to a point release should not cause non-passive changes as demonstrated in #30

Furthermore, Support has been dropped for ApacheDS 1.x, but Apache DS is still in milestone. While there have been many releases of ApacheDS 2.x, it has been in milestone for nearly 5 years (since June of 2011).

We should look into alternative embedded LDAP instances.
