What other services would need to authenticate to the same user
directory? I also suspect moving accounts from SQL to LDAP should be
fairly easy. I could script it using perl. Also, an SQL backend
could be
setup for Fedora Directory Server using plugins.
(http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Plugins) A brief google
search
turns up no SQL plugins.
1. Not sure why we would want to have FDS as a layer on top of an SQL
server.
2. Do you have a way to make FDS' schema meet all the requirements
currently listed on Tom's "new account system" wiki page (e.g. groups
that inherit members from other groups, users with multiple e-mail
addresses listed, and so forth)?
3. Do you have a query language for FDS that can do anything usefully
near SQL?
Best,
