H2: When should I use LDAP?
|
||||
|
||||
This is a very good question. In general, you should use a Directory
|
||||
server when you require data to be centrally managed, stored and accessible via
|
||||
standards based methods.
|
||||
|
||||
Some common examples found throughout the industry are, but not limited to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Machine Authentication
|
||||
* User Authentication
|
||||
* User/System Groups
|
||||
* Address book
|
||||
* Organization Representation
|
||||
* Asset Tracking
|
||||
* Telephony Information Store
|
||||
* User resource management
|
||||
* E-mail address lookups
|
||||
* Application Configuration store
|
||||
* PBX Configuration store
|
||||
* etc.....
|
||||
|
||||
There are always new ways to use a Directory and apply LDAP principles to address
|
||||
certain problems, therefore there is no simple answer to this question.
|
||||
|
||||
If in doubt, join the general LDAP forum for non-commercial discussions and
|
||||
information relating to LDAP at:
|
||||
{{URL:http://www.umich.edu/~dirsvcs/ldap/mailinglist.html}} and ask
|
||||
|
||||
H2: When should I not use LDAP?
|
||||
|
||||
When you start finding yourself bending the directory to do what you require,
|
||||
maybe a redesign is needed. Or if you only require one application to use and
|
||||
manipulate your data (for discussion of LDAP vs RDBMS, please read the
|
||||
{{SECT:LDAP vs RDBMS}} section).
|
||||
|
||||
It will become obvious when LDAP is the right tool for the job.
