I agree with JoeK, keep this info all together. I have visualized a system that synced back and forth to AD/AM though. But that was to set it up so that the ACL manipulations were in AD/AM and then any changes in AD/AM were doublechecked, logged, and then shot over to AD so you knew exactly when changes occurred. Of course you can also do this through a web interface but if you have anyone who manages large numbers of groups, they themselves will probably want some programmatic mechanism to do updates.

No, it seemed to make more sense to put it in AD and keep it all in the same place.  Using DN syntax attributes to represent the users and groups allows us to take advantage of any changes to those objects without having to implement a sync process and gives us a lot of useful semantics such as no duplications and such.

 

There is a goofy sync app that we have that pushes stuff one way to our Domino system that does use some SQL for metadata, but that was a different circumstance.  That whole app could probably be replaced with MIIS very easily now if we had any will to do so.

Did you consider using SQL to store all the metadata for the groups? That’s what I’m doing now, or planning to, but I’d be interested to hear if you debated this what the final reasoning was.

 

Thanks,
