One simple realworld example I run into:
- I want to create a group of people. Lets say I want this to be all
people in the engineering department, which is determined by having
the value "engineering" in the department attribute of their entry.
I guess by an example I mean the complete application use-case. When you say
you want to create a group, I say 'ok, what do you want to do with that
group?'.
e.g. enforce access control to the engineering building doors ? Allow higher
internet bandwidth to engineering staff ? Something like that ?
- Further, I want to set up a webpage in Apache that only the
engineering group can see. Apache doesn't deal with groupOfURL style
lists, as far as I know, so this doesn't work. (groupOfURLS being ok
for finding a list of members, but lousy for determining if a user is
a (dynamic) member of it) Nsroles would probably work for apache, but
I don't think JES/Netscape messaging supports nsroles as a means for
defining mail groups - its not really appropriate for determining
lists of users like this.
This is an interesting one, because applications like apache were the
target for roles/cos. Do you know what Apache does support for
detemining page access via LDAP ?
