[NBLUG/talk] More LDAP

[Joey Moe]

This sounds really involved. So have you actually got OpenLDAP to authenticate any  of these  services yet?  and if so what facility are you using to authenticate?

Since ApacheDS seems to work just fine, I don't have any real  
motivation to roll back to OpenLDAP (I'm pretty sure that the client  
who was having problems with Jetspeed and OpenLDAP was having  
problems due to a bug in Jetspeed).

What I'd like to do is build a portal for SSU's Alternative Spring  
Break program, that could be used to coordinate schedules, aggregate  
news about the places that we'll be visiting, and pretty much any  
other useful things a web portal could do for the group.   
Essentially, I'd like to make it highly flexible, by combining  
multiple existing web applications (I'm thinking Jetspeed,  
eGroupware, and possibly MediaWiki and Slashcode) in one website and  
use LDAP as a common login system for them all.  My preliminary  
research indicates that all of these web services support LDAP,  
although the current stable release of Jetspeed does not (one of my  
projects this summer was to fix the bugs that prevented it from  
working with LDAP), and the only way to use it with Slashcode is with  
a third-party patch.


I have no idea is this will work, hence I haven't told anyone in the  
program that I'm working on it (I'm willing to describe it here  
because I don't think anyone who will be participating this year  
except me is on THIS mailing list).
