every application i've worked with in the past stored user information
within database tables: get user name from the "user" table, and so on.
however, as distributed architectures seem to becoming more and more
integrated with application servers, i've wondered how something like LDAP
plays into managing user information. it seems having a directory server
manage user information across multiple applications in an open architecture
is more appealing than using proprietary database tables.
is anyone using a directory server (via LDAP) to store user information? if
so, are you sharing the directory server with other applications or
networks?
is anyone using a directory server to authenticate users?
what basic advantages does a directory server offer a CF-based application?
disadvantages?
thanx to any replies.
Mike
