public LDAP server

[Uli Mayring <ul...@denic.de>]

Hello all,

I am thinking of implementing authentication against an LDAP directory in
the auth taglib. Does anyone know an LDAP server that is publically
available with some dummy resources and users?

I have found no such thing for MacOS, so I can't just install one locally.

BTW, is the LDAP processor still state of the art or are there newer
developments?

There's quite a few around. The web2ldap demo site has a list:
http://sites.inka.de/ms/cgi-bin/web2ldap.py

In particular the debian directory has lots of users to query against:

host: db.debian.org
baseDN: DC=DEBIAN,DC=ORG

LDAP-aware Mail clients like Netscape's have some default LDAP
directories.

Renzo Estrella (sp?) added write capabilities, and posted the results to
this list a while back. Ugo Cei has a patched version returning DSML.
Alain's original (http://kenny.socialchange.net.au/~jeff/ldaptaglib/) has
not changed beyond minor bugfixes.

I think the biggest need is accessor methods, so that LDAP query results
can be used in other taglibs like ESQL. See Donald's post a few days ago
(Re: XSP -> XSLT -> XSP).
