David,
I have set up the openldap-sql gateway, and even though it has been "implemented" it is a lot of work.
I had to use the cvs release of openldap, patch a couple of things to make it work with sybase, set up odbc, and then there's the problem of putting the metadata in the db.
Congratulations to anyone else who has gotten it to work.
Brad

- ldap to sql gateway This would be an ldap server which would use an sql (or other arbitrary backend) as its data store. This would allow contact information to be stored in a relational database, but then be accessed by mozilla, evolution, or any other similar frontend.
OpenLDAP already does this. It can use PostgreSQL, MySQL, BDB, and many other backends. I'm not sure about the other items on the list, but it might be a good idea to double-check that they don't already exist as well.
I mean... Um... On second thought... I'll happily "add" that feature to OpenLDAP for a small fee.. It will take me, oh, about 300 hours... I can deliver the finished product tomorrow. ;)
