Hi All,

I am new to LDAP. We are suppose to implement security through LDAP.

We have LDAP for Novell, for loign to mchines.

Now we want to tie this Novell login to application logins. Could
please any body move me in the right direction.

Like book or web site. I am finding lots of information, but not much
to help me in any way...........
I know I am asking a lot. Any help will be appreciated very much.

Thanks and Regards,
Jill.

Hi,

if you use java for your applications JNDI is your friend.

If you are using Novell you might want to look at their documentation for the
Novell LDAP NDK: http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/jldap/index.html.

If the Novell implementation is a true LDAP implementation then you might also
be able to use JNDI.

we have implemented such a technology (as well as NIS authentication)
I would reccomend you to take a look at the standard Sun's technology
JAAS
(http://java.sun.com/products/jaas/)

here is the reference guide
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html

you should take a look here as well:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/spec/com/sun/security/au
th/module/package-summary.html
you need the JNDILoginModule
