Hi Jim, The original pre-release versions of LDAPd were implemented with a BerkeleyDB backend, with custom index management etc, much like the openldap articale you reference. Those early designs, did have a contracted backend store interface defined (thank-you Mr magic - Alex), and indeed the

Alex and Brian, Regarding the relationship between RDBMS and LDAP... I believe this document says why RDBMS is wrong for LDAP: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/378.html On the other hand IBM have implemented LDAP in DB2. See: http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/392/shi.html Since rea

Noel has a very good idea for providing bundles of JNDI ObjectFactorys and StateFactorys for the various published LDAP schema objectclasses so you can read them as objects from a relational entry. So these factories for doing O/R would be packaged into the server and clients as a jar. For e

Brian, Directories are highly specialized databases because they store and search on data. That's pretty much the extent to which they overlap. LDAP and X.500 are also network protocols and involve alot more than just the relational aspects they share with most databases. Besides their acc
