LDAP or SQL ? > What would be the 4 or 5 reasons in favour of one or the other ? I'd say LDAP, simply because this is ldap's hometurf, user management and information. However, ldap interface is clunky at times. SQL would be usable, but I don't think it'd be the optimal for this usage area, as sql is more generic, and thus not as wellperforming. Besides, LDAP is a treeview, whereas SQL is flat down, which gives LDAP a better state for a thing like this. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
