Yes, the learning curve speaks against LDAP. IMHO most learn effort is related to schemes. But after all it is very easy in fact -- I think even simpler than SQL -- given that you made the first steps and you take LDAP for its intended purposes only. Some weeks ago I've been consulting a small web apps company. They wanted to map rights attributes of individual entities from their RDBMS to LDAP. That doesn't scale well. :-) /HM ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
