OpenLDAP on Windows XP possible?

I have an assignment to get OpenLDAP up and running on WindowsXP for a 
demo.  The only thing I can find is a tar.gz which I unpacked, so now 
how do I get it installed on XP?

I mostly see documentation for Unix/Linux systems but nothing as far as 
"Getting Started on XP" or anything windows related.

thanks

Cygwin is too slow for production server use. I suppose it's sufficient for a 
demo though.

Hi JavaTek,

I've got OpenLDAP up and running on XP. I can send it to you if you want. It supports several SASL mechanisms such as: GSSAPI, OTP, SRP, etc.

Cheers,

Sergio.

Your best bet is to use a pre-packaged version of OpenLDAP compiled for
Windows. I recommend Symas' offering at http://www.symas.com/cds.shtml
