Hi, I am working on a project where we will use Jetspeed to build a portal. We need to use LDAP for authentication and I am planning to use LDAP to store authorization information too.
The user authentication portion of the LDAP will be populated by other program so we will not add new users via the Jetspeed framework. Now, some questions. 1. Can I merge the jetspeed LDAP tree with the existing trees so the authentication and authorization can be under the same branch. I notice the default implementation is cn/ldapadmin%ou/jetspeed%o/apache. If so, what do I need to do? What will the related registries look like? 2. If I can not merge, then, can I use one tree to authenticate and another branch of tree to store authorization information? What do I need to do? What will the related registries look like? 3. If I can't merge, when is the best time to populate the authorization portion of the LDAP? Should I simulate add new user or should I do it when user first logon? What do I configure the registry for this? 4. Is the services.ldap.managerdn registry entry used to provide suffix to authentication or authorization or both? Thank you, Alex
