Eric,

Thanks for replying.

Since my last posting I've been poking around a bit and did notice that
LDAPSecurityService is in fact stubbed out.  As to your question.  I think I
have no choice but to make it work for my project, and I'd be happy to
contribute.  After looking at the code, I'm wondering if this shouldn't be
implemented using the om/peer model, but that is meant solely for RDBMS
right now (correct? Its a different discussion altogether, but why can't
objects be mapped to LDAP as well?).  For now I was thinking about simply
putting the JNDI calls directly in the LDAPSecurityService.

Also, the current implementation won't bind (authenticate) against Netscape
Directory Server.  I understand the problem, but won't go into it here
because it is somewhat long-winded.  There will need to be a change or two
to the LDAPUserManager as well.

Would it be fare to ask for a brain dump from anyone who has thoughts on how
this should be done in exchange for building the LDAP interface and
submitting?  I noticed that Jason van Zyl, Leonard Flournoy, Tracy Adewunmi
and Rafal Krzewski were listed as original authors.  Are they still around?
Is there some original design notes, etc. that might be of use?

I know this is a lot to ask, but I'm behind schedule, and I need to get this
working ASAP.

I'm going to cross-post this to turbine-dev since that is probably where
this thread should be anyways.

Thanks,
Mitch

confirmed.  LDAP stuff is broken.  Interested in volunteering to fix it?
