Re: how do YOU use LDAP?
We use it for PKI-issues
- storing/deploying certificates
- CRLs
Openldap is used here mostly for testing purposes, as our customers use
other, comercial directories.
(and at home I build up a logbook for amateurradio with openldap. Are here
any hams on the list? :)

Subject: how do YOU use LDAP?
I've been subscribed here for quite a few months now, and I'm wondering
about the ways in which LDAP is being used. What I mean to say is, are
you using a single, all inclusive directory service for multiple
purposes, or many smaller directories with different
schemes/structures?
Here at RPI, I am using LDAP for login/POSIX account info, and I would
like to expand uses. Is there a drawback to a single directory service,
of many parts, that can be accessed by multiple applications? Or,
should services be narrow in scope?
Please contribute to a lively discussion. Thanks
