Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE) 11gR1 is a rebranded patch release of Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7. It provides additional stability and security with the inclusion of many fixes that were previously released as patches and hot fixes.

This release also aligns the list of supported platforms with most other Oracle Fusion Middleware products, of which ODSEE is now a part. Improvements users can experience in this release:

• Configure an Oracle Virtual Directory LDAP adaptor to work with it
• Synchronize it with other directory servers by using the Oracle Directory Integration Platform
• Incorporates the NSS 3.12.6 library, which fixes an important security bug around SSL renegotiation of security parameters

Etienne Remillon writing for the Sun Directory Services blog outlines a few benefits DSEE 5.2 or 6.x one can realize by upgrading:

• Up to 300% performance improvement
• In place upgrade from DSEE 6 and 7 (no need to export/import existing data)
• Reduced disk space and memory footprint
• Optional data compression
• Instant restore capabilities
• Advanced tuning capabilities
• Improved control over traffic going through Directory Proxy Server
• New distribution algorithm with Directory Proxy Server
• Updated list of supported Operating Systems, IP v6 supported on all platforms
• Directory Service Control Center supported on broader list of application servers

For those unfamiliar with the Oracle E-Delivery download process, Brad Diggs details the steps in The Zone Manager blog. He specifically points out that the path to the bits through E-Delivery may not be obvious, so he offers steps on accessing them.
