I was actually referring to working on adding ldap support to redback itself, I am one of the developers on it.
as for the jpox plugin, I would think it would just provide the same jpox functionality that we use with derby and postgres or whatever rdbms we happen to have backing the jpox store. with that we pretty much get ldap support in redback and by extension continuum and archiva for free (albeit with a bit of metadata tweakage) erik, what kinda changes are we talking about metadata wise? do you have docs on this yet? if you want to look at the package.jdo we are using, its in here: http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/codehaus/plexus/redback/redback-users-jdo/1.0-alpha-1/redback-users-jdo-1.0-alpha-1.jar jesse On 6/6/07, David Goemans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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.
