Hi Abhinav,
The idea of this project is that XWiki backend fits well as LDAP
backend since they share the same structure: objects defined by
classes and stored in entries (documents in XWiki). The first goal is
to make XWiki usable through LDAP as an authentication server.
For this GSOC the following example should work: XWiki already have an
LDAP client authenticator so the target will be to have an instance of
XWiki authenticate on another instance of XWiki trough LDAP. What is
missing for this use case is to make XWiki a LDAP server.
First thing to look at I think is
http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/ which provide embedded LDAP
server in Java already and see if you can reuse it but with a
different backend than the default ApacheDS backend.

Hi,
My name is Abhinav and I am very
interested in the "LDAP server implementation"project you’ve recently posted on
GSOC-2013 project ideas list. I am
currently doing my Masters in Computer Applications at Anna University,
Chennai, India. I have been interested in working with Java and LDAP Server and was
hoping to find out a little more about this project. So I would be able
to effectively shape my proposal for this project, demonstrating why I
am a quality candidate for this project.
I am looking forward to a reply from you.
