JBossDirectory: Jndi Based Ldap Server For a month or so, this thought has been lingering in my mind-to build a simple jndi based Ldap Server on top of JBossCache( TreeCache).
I agree that it is not as simple as that, to provide ldap based services, but what I am looking at it is a ldap server which can provide jndi based functionality at first. I should be able to store/retrieve, search, delete etc using JNDI ldap API. Dec.27 was a holiday for me - I whipped up a simple prototype which provides Jndi based ldap store/retrieve an object. In the background, I just store it in a treecache. This is interesting to me because I can reap all the features JBossCache provides - cacheloader to persistence, replication, lazy loading etc. As long as the map between Jndi and JBossCache can be taken care of plus a mechanism to map ldap namespace strings like 'uid=xxx,ou=people,o=jboss" to TreeCache '/jboss/people/uid', there may be some potential. Things to consider later: a) Export/Import via LDIF. b) DSML. c) Support Ldap DIT. d) Ldap Synchronization. e) Ldap Replication. (JGroups will be helpful). Why is JBossDirectory important? * Will provide a good testing engine for ldap related needs. Eg: JBossSX. * Will be useful for the JBoss Identity Management project and its needs like SSO, federated identity, liberty alliance etc. Regards, Anil View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3860019#3860019 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3860019 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
