I wish to prepare a list of ldap-compatible design software so that I
can discuss with designers on how we can do this task easier. By
LDAP-compatible I mean the design software (Desktop Publishing
software) should be able to connect to ldap server as external data
source and use these data directly in the design (this feature is
often called "mail merge" in openoffice and MS Office).
You may be going at this from the wrong direction. First find some
design software package(s) which works well for you, that's likely the
main problem. If one of these it speaks LDAP that's nice, but as long
as it can import some reasonably straightforward format, it should be
fairly easy to dump your LDAP directory to that format. E.g. XML,
everything seems to speak XML nowadays.
But of course, if someone here does know a nice package which speaks
LDAP, there is no reason not to have a look at it:-)
My suggestion as well. There are lots of very trivial-to-configure
LDAP-to-DSML gateways. I'd *imagine* that retrieving data from a URL
is pretty commonly supported, as well as merging data from XML. [DSML
is LDAP in XML].
