Author [ADS LDAP DAS] ADS Specific

Hey Guys,

Lets get funky with the acronyms.

I think the LDAP DAS will be ADS Specific, because of
ADS's capability to add ObjectClasses on the fly,
unless we also know that other LDAP servers have this capability?

I just thought I'd ask, because in the design guide I'm referring to ADS
a lot based on this assumption.

Thanks,
- Ole

OpenLDAP certainly allows schema additions and modifications on the fly.

Oh - Cool - Do you know how to do it via JNDI by any chance?

I assume it's similar to how ADS does it...

I guess we'll just have to make sure the DAS understands various
"Configuration Dialects"
then.

Thanks,
- Ole

Sorry, although we use JNDI, we've not switched to using back-config yet
(instead of text configuration files) so it is not something we've played
with.

Are these points that need to be considered on the design of the LDAP DAS,
and we should think about a pluggable layer that would abstract these
behaviors and allow for different implementations. This would allow for
people to enable support for different LDAP servers with minimal work .

Thoughts ?

PS.: I know Ole have started a design document, but I haven't had a chance
to look into it yet, so I'm sorry if I'm just repeating what is there
already.

Yes - after I'm done coding the initial ADS schema generation
capability, we can
have a look and think about how to make it pluggable, since it's usually
easier to see
what is required after a first pass :-)

Probably just a couple of parameters that need changing though...

Cheers,
- Ole
