Okay so I discussed this with a few folk in Pasadena but I think its worth documenting on the list to find out if something exists in secret, or if there is any technical reason why I shouldn't write this.
Taking some inspiration from the Nagios External Master charm, it strikes me as a good idea to have an LDAP interface and LDAP no op charm that can allow charms to connect to external LDAP sources with minimal effort. I have a long term goal to charm up openldap or whatever but in the short term, it also strikes me that a lot of implementing companies would already have an AD server or OpenLDAP server running somewhere that they wouldn't want to migrate which is completely understandable. So an LDAP charm that just tells charms the useful information like url, port, ssl, basedn, search mask etc would be a good way to let Saiku, Gitlab, Hadoop, HTTPD etc hook up to corporate LDAP servers to provide proper user management. Similarly, if I was looking to setup a scalable PAAS/SAAS setup I would want to centralise my stuff instead of having a bunch of disparate applications. Comments and suggestions please.
