Like I already said, we are willing to share the implementation of
ldapUserManager under Apache license, but not the LDAP-Lib.
But I think if you decide to take parts of my implementation
(ldapUserManager), I'm willing to help you migrating it to an other
library which is licensed under Apache.
@ Erik Bengtson
I see one problem in your JPOX implementation? How do you validate pwds?
The problem is that there are many different algorithms like (md5, crypt
etc). I solved it by validating on LDAP.
@ jesse
If your implementation of LDAP-UserManager and LDAP authenticator
public. If yes, I could try to help you, to make this work. But only if
you want. If your implementation work, you could contribute it under
Apache license and continuum has LDAP.

Hi,
I'm currently writing a JPOX plugin to connect to LDAP databases. In other
words, you can stick to JDO and support either RDBMS or LDAP databases. Of
course, you will be required to set ldap specific metadata in metadata files.
If you are interested, can you please point me to your object model that maps to
users, groups, roles, etc? I would like to validate the ldap module works.

Erik Bengtson
Quoting Carlos Sanchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Using LGPL is going to be tricky, but if you contribute the code of
your part under Apache we could try to reuse it with other library
like Spring-LDAP http://www.springframework.org/ldap

First my LDAP-Lib does more than a normal LDAP-Connection library. For
example it provides a LDAP-User, which allready contains all attributes
of a user. And it also provides methods to get all attributes of a
LDAP-Node.
I used JNDI in this Lib to connect to LDAP, so it should work with any
ldap-server. But I have only tested it with OpenLDAP and ADS.

does your ldap lib connect up to arbitrary ldap servers? I have been
poking around recently with using apacheds as an embedded ldap server
and writing a general ldap user manager and ldap authenticator against
it.
I am not sure if I can use the GPL part of that.

To function of my module: it is an implementation of the plexus-redback
user manager (But only a simple one, which don't offer pwd-change etc.).
David
could you make that apache license?
then you can add it to issue
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXREDBACK-74
and I'll take a look-see, I have been kicking around different ways to
use ldap so it will be nice to see what you have :)

Hi,
I've written a LDAP-Module for User-Management in Continuum
(Plexus-redback). This has already worked fine. But it doesn't work
with
the actual trunk. I think something has changed with
redback-configuration.
I think a LDAP-Module for Continuum were a good feature and my
company
is willing to contribute it under GPL-License.
