hola, we already have a kind of mixed mode within ldap authentification :
if ldap is on, the user always is searched within local OM database first... -> if he has the adminflag, he is always authenticated against local database it is also possible to switch off ldap without re-designing user structure (due to the fact, that the user gets created and his entered password is written encrypted within OM database) -> i wouldn't recommend a mixed mode (Ldap + local auth for extern users), cause of the overview -> i would also recommend switching off self-registering of users when LDAP is on... The ldap login management is the designed for the following purpose : Intern users are authenticated against LDAP Server, extern users can also take part within a conference, but have to be invited via sheduled Meeting od invitation link from within conference.... the "extern" users in this scenario don't really belong to the power users, that should be able to create meeting appointments and stuff.... -> if they should be ableto plan meetings, they are worth a ldap account ;-) if this scenario doesnt cope with your user structure, u could consider a extension, working like : Ldap is on Self registering of users is on -> if a new user (without ldap account) registers himself, a admin user gets notified and has to "confirm" the user account by setting a new flag within user data , indicating, that this user is to be authenticated against local database -> as alternative, if u dont want control about your users, the flag could be set autmatically within self registering process.... at login process, this flag is checked first and if it exists, no ldaop auth is used.... -> This Splitted Login mechanism should definiteley be optional, i think, steered by configuration, maybe - cause it means a lack of overview about the users and could even cause inconsistencies ( unique usernames and stuff) see ya Smoeker On 29 Jun., 09:07, bidab <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would use OpenMeetings in DMZ.
