Hello Ricardo,
I'm not a LDAP expert,
Neither am I!
but I used to work with it, and, to be honest, I just can't stand all these "Corporate Standarts". They are inadequate. The whole "Enterprise" is inadequate.
Sorry, what "Enterprise" you are talking about? And why "corporate" and synonymous of bad?
In contrast with LDAP, OpenID emerged on the, uh, Internets. Just be honest with yourself: LDAP sucks. In the XXI century we don't need monsters no more.
Well, As I am not an expert neither, I have few arguments debate here. The point for me is that LDAP is helping me right now to get what I need by using a Directory Service to authenticate XWiki users. The same directory service is controlling a relatively big number of services as email, different kinds of access to a traditional file system, X terminals on Suse Linux servers,... I don't see it like a monster. I guess it depends on what your are using of the whole standard. The point is not only authenticate, but to services and uses integrated and managed under the same umbrella. Here, eDirectory is used to manage the directory service and LDAP the way I am communicating the directory with XWiki. I consider both pieces as the foundation of our still little system. In any case, I think you must take a look at... http://webid.myxwiki.org Sergiu Dumitriu point me in that direction some days ago talking about the problem of getting cross-authentication in a farm. I'm receiving a temporally unavailable server error; I'm sure will be online again soon. Cheer! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC.
