I have a small company that's moving from cloud services to internal services, so we're getting our first-ever LDAP server up to manage these accounts.
We're using ApacheDS, but I really wish we could use Google Apps to manage our internal authentication requests. We're an Eclipse/OSGi/Java dev shop, so I figure we could probably hack around a little to make a plugin for ApacheDS to set it up as a front for our Google Apps domain. I've got a couple questions: 1) Do you think this is possible? 2) If so, any recommendations on where we should start? Which extension points we should learn about? 3) Is anybody interested in doing this project under sponsorship from us? We're very small, but we do have some revenue, and it'd be worth $500 or so to us for it to just be done. Googling around there are other people who have the same request: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/apps/6rOyXD5g1aA http://superuser.com/questions/438629/using-apacheds-for-single-sign-on-for-google-apps https://www.jfrog.com/jira/browse/RTFACT-5491 If it's possible, it seems that ApacheDS is a good candidate to bridge the gap for companies that don't want to maintain their own LDAP database.
