(personal note: I'd not use mysql, but postgresql instead. YMMV.) Generally: use whatever technology you know already. This means I have a heavy anti-LDAP bias, but I know SQL quite well. For others, this may mean that they'll use LDAP since they know how to set it up and run it. I think for what you want, both technologies can be used without big problems, so it really comes down on how much time do you spend learning the tools. (As for authentication: yes, there are many LDAP backends for server applications. But there are many sql backends for server applications, too.) cheers - -- vbi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: get my key from http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481 iKcEARECAGcFAkCHsulgGmh0dHA6Ly9mb3J0eXR3by5jaC9sZWdhbC9ncGcvZW1h aWwuMjAwMjA4MjI/dmVyc2lvbj0xLjUmbWQ1c3VtPTVkZmY4NjhkMTE4NDMyNzYw NzFiMjVlYjcwMDZkYTNlAAoJECqqZti935l6UwcAnRnQEAhKJyyQXiNeU2rz34eo x675AJ9L8Fl+Phm4ZyhvK9kvVV4GJm658Q== =OXCx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
