LDAP server (Answered)

[athouston]

Do we have an LDAP server for TC?

see slapd.tcz but needs configuration probably

SLAPD looks interesting. Thanks. It will be a few weeks before I actually play with it as I work through the rest of my TC install.

current version of openldap extensions are a bit incomplete to me, i will update it soon
also i am going to rename the extensions
libldap & ldap-utils --> openldap
slapd --> openldap-server
libldap-dev --> openldap-dev

the problem with current version of slapd is missing backends, well maybe they are static linked to slapd i dunno but i have --enable-dynamic in my configure line it is really weird

@Arlan S.

Thanks for the heads up.

My real interest in LDAP is firstly as an interface to Active Directory but ultimately as a replacement. I am playing with p-Gina as the MS XP login front end. LDAP doesn't do all the things AD supports but for a small network it should do enough.

bsddb.tcz should be added to dep list
