Hi there, we are starting on a project where multiple apps will be maintaining (creating, updating, deleting) user profiles in LDAP. These user profiles will be used to authtenticate and provide access to various online resources and applications. I am looking for examples / guidance on the issues involved in this scenario and the typical approaches used. Areas of interest are: - How to you ensure that all apps store user profiles values that are compatible with each other e.g length of usernames, rules for passwords. (Can LDAP attributes be configured to have limits regarding their input ?) - How standard is the use of inetOrgPerson for storing user details ? Are all applications likely to be able to use this objectclass by default ? What other 'standard' objectclasses are there for groups, roles, etc, that are widely used ? - Are there any good sites out there with case studies for these types of integrations ? TIA, aidan
