Last year, the project and the state’s motivation for migrating its directory service to an open-source solution were presented.
At the Summit 2026, Volker Everts (Dataport AöR) and Cord Martens (Univention GmbH) will report on the current status, the challenges encountered, the requirements that have already been successfully addressed, and the future perspective that a “new directory service” brings.
On the one hand, the new directory service is a key pillar for further projects within the state, supporting the modernization of the IT landscape in Schleswig-Holstein. On the other hand, conceptual results as well as concrete product features are already available that are also of interest to other federal states and can be reused under the principle of Public Money – Public Code.
