LDAPDNDProxy
The LDAP DND proxy is a piece of software that allows applications that authenticate through LDAP to use any valid DND username (rather than a full LDAP name).
The proxy sits inbetween an application and an
LDAP server. When the proxy receives a "login" request, the proxy expands the username field using a
DND lookup?, passing the rest of the
LDAP query unchanged.
Current Status
Conceptual phase (
JaredAlessandroni and
RobinsonTryon).
But we actually have some good ideas of how to implement such a tool in Perl, and we're hoping to have something to test in a few days.
How does it work?
We're figuring it out right now... :-)
How secure is this?
I can answer that better after we write the thing, but I should note that we're planning to route all traffic over
SSL. As well, our code will be relatively short, so you can easily check it for bugs yourself!
