databases accessed via LDAP can be and are used as a user data store and a policy data store for authentication and authorization purposes cf. OpenSSO (AccessManager), and competing products like CA SiteMinder.

Hello,

All browser offer to remember userid/password pairs (and more) and it seems to me this would fall, somewhat obviously, into a case of possible use of ldap, since it does authentication. Obviously the web sites may use ldap for their
own purposes, but I'm thinking of ldap for the site users.

However, my searching efforts over the web have found nothing at all on
this...?

Is this possible?

Is it already being done and I just don't recognize it?

Is it obviously foolish?
