Hi Chris and the list,
we'll add our ldap howto to the wiki, it's a promise, but before that we
need to get it work in our installation. :-) Unfortunately we didn't
have enough time to set the ldap up and running for this Fall's pilot,
but we're looking forward to do this hopefully within the next month in
our test server. If and hopefully when we succeed doing this we will
definitely add our documentation to the wiki.
As a long term plan we still aim at a saml2/shibboleth solution
regarding authentication, but we've decided to also try ldap as we saw
it being mature enough in MH 1.2. Our long term plan might actually be a
mix of both saml2 and ldap, as we'd like to do both
1) The Faculty/Department-approach: hook our MH to our ldap in order to
retrieve users' Faculty/Department memberships to be in the access control.
AND
2) The course approach: retrieving students' course memberships during
the saml2 login and enabling the student to see only the vids which are
open for a particular course / particular courses. In order to make this
happen MH should support a way to retrieve course id:s from a University
spesific SIS or LMS (like Moodle in our case) so when a person is
publishing a vid in MH he/she could grant access to 1-n SIS/LMS courses.
That said, I promise we add our ldap config to the wiki as soon as we
get it working here. Meanwhile, if someone of you on this list is
working with saml2/shibboleth integration and being successful in making
it work with MH, please let us know even when you're only halfway
through with your integration process! :)

Hey Olli,
Would you, or someone on your team, be interested in adding some
information about ldap to our wiki? Collene has dumped some knowledge
from our install, but she's gone for the next month or so and won't
have a chance to put it up on the wiki. I'd love to have this better
documented for 1.3 and onwards.
We currently have a couple of links here:
http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Authorization+Work+for+Matterhorn+1.2
http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Authorization+Work+For+Matterhorn+1.3+%28DRAFT%29
http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Multitenancy
They touch on ldap, but don't describe how it works completely. I
thought maybe a page under the integration scenarios for Helsinki would
be useful?:
http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Integration+Scenarios
Something like "Helsinki use of LDAP". And feel free to contrast it
with how we use ldap if you do something differently. I think these
pages are great for institutions to see how things are being used
across the world,
Chris
