Re: Next Generation tjener – deciding on versioning
Hi,
> FTR, I have also been in the loop for most of this, technically. I am not yet so well making friends with dropping LDAP as a directory backend. At least we must be able to control LDAP servers via AlekSIS's IDM part.
AlekSIS can already do that now.
> wonder, if we could not leave an LDAP attached to the setup with LDAP not being the primary data backend for user/host/what-not data, but only a secondary data service that gets populated by AlekSIS's IDM part. AlekSIS then has the primary IDM data and knows all information on all its identities whereas the attached LDAP only receives a subset of information on users/data/...
I would not do that by default, but we could introduce a "Legacy" profile or something that does it on top.

Dovecot can handle OAuth just fine, and for services that can't, there's always PAM.
