Hi, we are trying to use the security module which would be a perfect fit for our needs if it had a fully LDAP based implementation.
To make things even more difficult, we are building up an infrastructure where several domains with separate databases exist. Problem 1: the JDO annotations of the domain objects in the module obviously don't use the DataNucleus extension to specify a different data store than the default one. This leads to users/roles being created in the 'default data store' of the respective service and we are not easily able to redirect the security related persistence towards a central 'security database'. Problem 2: a fully LDAP based implementation is what the customer needs If an LDAP backend is present in a company, then one would expect to handle all of the authentication/authorisation issues on that side without the need to have an additional database which might get out of sync with the single source of truth which should be LDAP. We have found out that DataNucleus even has an LDAP data store implementation. Would it be possible to implement a fully LDAP based backend for the security module? We would be willing to invest some effort, if you could guide us on how to tackle the problem.
