Currently there is no built-in straight-forward methods to authenticate
against LDAP Directories. However, I have heard from others who have
compiled OpenLDAP using MySQL as a back-end database.
OpenLDAP: I do not know if the possibility exists to replicate the
MySQL tables storing the OpenLDAP data in the above scenario. But if
regular access to those MySQL tables is possible, it will most likely need
to be massaged into a proper format. And of course you would have to tell
OpenLDAP to store Passwords in Plain text.
iPlanet: A product from iPlanet (Sun One) does exist to keep data
in iPlanet Directory (LDAP) Server synchronized with an SQL Database (like
MySQL). This product is called iPlanet Integration Server. I am not sure
how it will handle the passwords.
