I am looking to do some modeling and would like to have a tool that can capture not only a relational model like ERWIN but also allow us to easily port to LDAP as an option. NOTE: Visio can connect to an existing LDAP server and draw, but does not allow for you to model first and then deploy, unlike its relational capabilities. ...
My company develops and sells a SaaS application that has hundreds of customers. Some of our customers have asked us to support LDAP integration for authenticating user accounts against their existing systems instead of having to create another login account for each of their employees. Seems like this is referred to as Single Sign On (S...
Are there tools that make the job easier? If command-line only tools exist, then can anyone speculate if there is a market for a GUI tool? For example, you can create a relational database by modeling visually. Should the same notion exist for LDAP? ...
I am seeking examples of how others have modified LDAP schemas to support Cardspace and/or OpenID. Links to LDIFs or other documentation is greatly appreciated. ...
I would like to authenticate username and passwords for my application on a windows operating system with any directory service. For example it could be microsoft active directory, Novell eDirecotry, or SunOne. I already know how to do this code natively for Microsoft Active Direcotry with c#.

I'm thinking no, but hope to be corrected. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol i.e. i'm simply looking to a batch read of ~1000 users via one query, instead of making ~1000 separate queries. Update: Okay, it helps to read the spec: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2254 : ) ...

I wrote one webservice in ASP.net. I need to authenticate the webservice with the local network userid and password. I am checking this value using LDAP. How can I make this without minimal coding. ...
Many portal platforms have the ability to consume an enterprise "profile" that can be comprised of calls that are unioned from data sources such as LDAP and relational databases. Is it best to build a profile service using SPML because it is more mature or wait for the emerging CARML specification to reach production status? ...
I know this is more like a serverfault question than a stackoverflow question, but since serverfault isn't up yet, here I go: I'm supposed to move an application from one redhat server to another, and without very good knowledge of the internal workings of the application, how would I move the OpenLDAP database from the one machine to t...
What are the best practices for choosing an RDN when creating new objectClasses in LDAP? I know you can choose from uid, cn, ou, and so on, but what practices should one follow? ...
Hi I'm doing an application which needs to query active directory and I've been using ldap queries for that purpose. My problem is that I really cant use "ou=People,dc=pisoftware,dc=com" because the People node name keeps changing because my department name have been changed a lot recently. So in order to avoid the problem of having t...
I want to be able to load up an Active Directory server with a realistic medium-to-large enterprise directory structure (groups, users) so that I can run performance tests on an application which makes use of that data. In my fantasy world, some big company would export their (anonymized) AD structure in a way I could import directly. ...
Our company is trying to implement a few single sign-on applications using Active Directory (Windows Server 2003) and LDAP. I would like to lock down the account used to make these LDAP queries as much as possible. What is the best practice for configuring this type of account? ...
