Novell has an LDAP JDBC Driver. http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ldapjdbc.htm
It appears it will work with any LDAP v2 or v3 compliant directory. However, it requires a log in to download it. Still, it is probably a good place to start. There is also a project at sourceforge.net that started up to produce an open source LDAP/JDBC driver. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jdbc-ldap/ hth, Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: David Rideau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 5:04 AM > To: Turbine Users List > Subject: Re: LDAP authentication - LDAPUserManager.java > > > Colin Chalmers wrote: > > >The question I think has to asked, what do we want to > achieve here?
