AW: [opencms-dev] data structure

[Hanjo Riege]

Hi Nico and Laurant,
if you want OpenCms to communicate with an ldap server, you should check out
the 
ff branch from the cvs-repository. There is an OpenCms version based on
5.0_beta_1 
that can handle modules for user authentication. It includes a module for
ldap. 
Maybe this helps 

Best Regards,

Hanjo

Hi Laurant, 
may we could work together with this. I need several similar things very
very soon. (yesterday) Maybe an LDAP-Login + LDAP User Sync (Groups later) 
or any easy other thing which helps me synchronizing the users with another 
database including passwords. In the past I implemented an LDAP Sync for
another app - so I have some experiences in that and finished code snips.
which I could pull out. 
But currently I had not many looks into the OpenCMS API. And have no idea
how complicated this would be. It's a central thing or how many different
places to be modified.
I heard it's not trivial, but I heard also there were posted some
information in the past - how to do this... 
So if there´s any help around, please forward me also. Maybe I can estimate
if it's too complicated for me or too much work. Or a cool thing todo.
So long, 
Nico
