Quite a while back I said I was going to look into the Ldap stuff but due to other priorities I had to let it go :-((
However since it keeps coming up in questions and it's my itch (one of them) I started looking into it again to see what was happening. I now undertsand fully why Jason took it out! I wanted to have a bit more time to look before coming with a proposal of sorts but since there's so many questions regarding it I may at least say I'm looking into it.. Status: The Ldap coding is not too good, I have made a couple of small fixes so that it works on my machine :-) At least the authentication part. I could continue cleaning up bits & pieces so that we have something we could later merge into the main branch but I think it would be good if there was a least some exchange of thought as to how it can be used with Turbine Questions 1. How does the group see Ldap fitting into Turbine as a whole and the security in particular? 2. Should it be possible to use both a database & Ldap backend at the same time? 3. Should we look into pooling for Ldap access? Not sure if that's possible with JNDI. but Netscape has an api where's it's (Pool) already built in. 4. Should we look at integrating Ldap Objects into Criteria similiar to how a query is built up when using a database? Enough food for thought I guess. /Colin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Dobbs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Turbine Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 5:33 PM Subject: Re: Antw: Turbine + NT login/Active Directory > On Monday, March 4, 2002, at 08:31 AM, Andre Schild wrote: > > > ADS should be able to provide LDAP services. > > So try to use the LDAP connector. > > Except that the LDAP connector is broken.
