LDAP for authentication

Postby coolghoul » Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:20 pm

Hello,

A friend of mine referred me to the Xataface site a couple of days ago.

I'm in the beginning stages of building a web-database solution to track faculty involvement with community based projects in our region.

I anticipate a thousand people will add content to the database. Our university has an LDAP directory service containing everybody's userid/pw. Can I use LDAP in conjunction w/ Xataface? I was hoping to be able to send out a URL to all users on our campus (about 25 thousand users) and allow people to sign in, then to add their content to our database.

Lastly, one of my requirements is to allow any site visitor to query the database after it is built. Will I need to build this portion myself? Or does Xataface offer a way for any visitor to query the database without requiring a userid?

TIA

Yes you can use LDAP for authentication. You need the LDAP auth module though.

I found it. "ldap" needs to be lower case.
