I'm a newbie when it comes to LDAP. I need to setup a basic ldap server for User authentication/authorization from a Java Application. From what I gather it's going to be a small deployment so I was asked for something simple, light and if possible a server that uses XML as a backend.
Can you suggest any possible servers that meet this criteria? I haven't been able to find any that even mentions XML as a backend. Does this exist? I only found that OpenLDAP support a backend built on plain text LDIF files.
==== EDIT ==== I miss phrased the above regarding OpenLDAP and its backend support. I meant that the only server that I was able to find to [easily] support plain text files was OpenLDAP (stated openly in the documentations I researched). ==== END EDIT ====
Any general pointers on ldap, which product to use, etc is appreciated. I was planning to use the UnboundID API to talk to the server; I haven't decided on what server to use yet (probably ApacheDS).
Thanks in advance.
