Hi Jim -- My OpenLDAP directory when well tuned and absolutely hammered outruns a well tuned MySQL server. YMMV, as always. Different applications and different configurations run differently using different software. But duh.
Why bother with LDAP? I authenticate 15,000 users off of an existing LDAP direcory for a number of different services, including UNIX logins, mail processing, and Windows logins. The UNIX logins and mail processing were in place and using LDAP well before I integrated Samba into my LDAP directory. Why would I not use the LDAP backend when everything else in my network does? Or to turn your question around on you, why would I bother with SQL? -jag On Wed, 2004-07-14 at 09:54, Jim C. wrote: > How does the speed of SQL compare to the speed of LDAP?
