Hello List, I am about to embark upon a project that requires me to create a MS SQL database that is accessible via an LDAP front end. Unfortunately (depending on your point of view) I am tied to Windows OS's for the entire infrastructure.
Having never worked with LDAP before, I have spent an amount of time researching this, but to be brutally honest I have not got very far. Reading through the Faq-o-Matic at openldap.org it seems that MSSQL is not "officially" supported/tested. So before I go steaming down the wrong track, my questions are: - Will the combination of Open LDAP & MSSQL work reliably? - If it is possible is anybody aware of any tutorials / docs that provide a guide to this type of configuration/setup If this project reaches production, the LDAP server is likely to hold upwards of 2 million records with 100's of transactions per second, based on the information in the docs I have a feeling the configuration described above will probably keel over and die, or take minutes to respond. So while the "preferred" option is for the MSSQL backend, I am going to try and sell a pure *nix/Open LDAP setup. Before I do this though, is pure Open LDAP proven under this level of load.
