ldap backend to informix
Hi,
we got a request from a customer that coordinates a huge project in
germany. he is looking for a ldap-server that should be used for
authentification from a hyper-g server. hyper-g says that they will
support ldap, though they don't right now, as far as i know.
well, the problem is that ldap has to communicate with an informix
database and must run on aix. the customer doesnt want to buy any
commercial software, because the price is bound to the number of
entries (Netscape), and as this project deals with about 2.5 million
(2.500.000) entries it would be to expensive for him.
so we thought about the open-ldap server. this one actually compiles
under aix, according to the documentation. but there needs a informix
backend to be written.
what do you think how difficult it would be to do so and how long it
would take? does anyone have experience with informix?
so far and cheers
