Re: ldap with a Mysql backend

[Nemo Tse <nemo@nemoathome.ods.org>]

I am using MySQL/MyODBC as the backend of OpenLDAP, under Win32.
It is not very difficult to setup but a bit tricky, as not sufficient 
documentation.
After hours of trial and error I make it work.
However I found that the LDAPadd function is not as sophisticated as it 
should be, like using LDBM.
Finally I have to write another program to handle the add process using 
Perl, and let the LDAP server remain as data retrieval.
