[ale] OpenLDAP Question

[Jerald Sheets]

I've done an OpenLDAP store accesed by the web server via mod_auth_ldap
and managed from a gui tool as well as building a "quick and dirty"
add/remove interface for him in PHP.  Either will work.

Also, if you need unlimited storage and have the overhead to spare,
mod_auth_mysql gives you a tiny bit better response and
availability...you can cluster it too.

Subject: [ale] OpenLDAP Question


I haven't done much research yet, but from what I've read on OpenLDAP,
this idea should be possible.

I have a pseudo-extranet running, and the webmaster controls the
accounts on it via .htaccess files.  I'm building a new server to handle
all auth using LDAP (for staffers).  What I'd like to do is allow the
webmaster control over a small subset of users so she can manage their
accounts and passwords sans my help.  Anyone care to offer  any
thoughts?  Good idea, bad idea, security risk, impossible?

I'm heading out to buy a book on OpenLDAP right now.  This oughta be
interesting.

TIA
