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.
