Comment(by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I've been developping a solution to plug calendarserver into a standard
OpenLDAP installation under Debian for a few days. My goal is to have a
module that works on *your* setup without any tuning apart from the
configuration in caldavd.plist. I'm doing it because I couldn't figure out
how Brandon's solution is working or what his schema is.
The main problem I've been tackling is: how to provide a flexible way to
interpret the LDAP data as records of different types? For example, there
are several ways to implement groups. I've designed a solution to specify
all this data in caldavd.plist, assuming the most standard schemas are
used. Basically, for each record type, I give the base DN and the name of
the attribute for the RDN. Then there's quite a lot of glue code to
implement the interface.
I'm attaching a diff file with my current implementation. It's a work in
progress and I'm aware that several things need fixing, especially replace
hardcoded stuff by configuration, implement the "proxy" stuff, and avoid
synchonous operations (I do not really need caching at this time). I would
really appreciate comments on my approach:
- is the configuration understandable (see the changes in config.py)?
- would that work with your LDAP setup?
If there is positive feedback, I'm willing to improve the code so that it
can be integrated in calendarserver.
Otherwise, maybe that will help with the "design issues" mentionned here:
