The project I work on right now is fast approaching the security phase. We are about 90% sure of LDAP right now. So I'm all for making the LDAP support as solid as possible. The approaches you've described would definitely allow the most flexibility. What Robert mentioned about the diversity of LDAP implementations is definitely the biggest hurdle.
I don't know what sort of schedule Ben has put forth for a 1.0 release, but the community is anxious for one. So if the LDAP refactoring can happen without much delay to a release, have at it I say. On 5/9/06, Robert r. Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm all for better, more reusable LDAP code. I think the main issue with LDAP is the variety of ways in which it can be configured and used; so moving stuff into a template class as suggested would seem to make a lot of sense.

I thought I'd run them past the list so that those who are interested in LDAP in Acegi have a chance to comment. I've moved the main content of this mail into a JIRA issue http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SEC-264 Comments, questions or better suggestions are welcome there or here on the list. Luke. P.S. No comments about RC versions please. That boat's already sailed :). I'd like to get the best working API we can come up with in place pre-1.0 rather than have to make changes in future versions. Bugs are another matter and can be fixed in 1.0.1. -- Robert r.
