[opencms-dev] Large number of users

[Nathan Sweaney]

Thanks for the help.  I also would love to see some sort of open source
LDAP project started.

Yes, what you want to do is to have a separate project for every
department,
and sign every project with its' own editor group and project manager
group.
We have done couple of small school implementations as well and this
is
exactly how we have set them up.

We currently use OpenCms user management for this. However I also have
more
and more clients asking after LDAP integration, so would be useful if
the
opencms community could kick off a project on this (especially since I
read
from this list couple of weeks ago that Alkacon do have LDAP connector
for
OpenCms, but they are likely not going to release it as open
source)...
