LDAPJabberScratch
Here's the LDAP Jabber Project scratch page (well, the first one, anyhow... hopefully we'll get this sucker running quickly and we won't have to futz with it much more... :-)
Initial Values
Okay, so
JaredA got Jabber working on 'dev' with
SSL. I'll try to grab notes on that. We're working on sa2, partially because we're not sure if 'dev' has too much crap/cruft installed on it that it's messing things up.
As for software, I'm going to grab some basic Jabber server off of jabber.org (there's just one primary one, I think), and then find that
LDAP code that Jared found. Although we got pretty far with that code, due to our failure if I find some other code then I might try something different... * shrug *.
Okay. that's about it.
Jabber server is here:
http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/
Admin and Install is here --->
http://www.jabber.org/admin/adminguide.html
info on
SSL is here:
http://www.jabber.org/admin/adminguide.html#security-ssl
basically, just compile with the "SSL" option turned on.
- Some random notes on Jabber are here: http://www.pipetree.com/jabber/ (appears to be some guy who wrote an O'Reilly book on Jabber, so it's probably got some nice stuff... :)
LDAP add-on ? --> something on jabberstudio.org, called an "xdb backend for an
LDAP directory."
notes on it here --

the project page is here --
http://www.jabberstudio.org/projects/xdb_ldap/project/view.php
Of course, we've seen the "LDAP - Jabber Integration project" here:
http://xdbldap.tigris.org/design/ldap-jabber-integration.htm
... but that page is (unfortunately) quite stagnant....
Here's another one, "fljud" --- Flexible
LDAP Jabber User Directory. But it's not exactly what we need (I think)...

Here's a bit from a file (found it in the Google cache ! :-)

1.2. What This Package Is
Currently, libcwldap provides Jabber server software with various library
functions in a true multithreaded environment.
These are the current functions supported using LDAP for this release.
o Authetication via LDAP (plain and digest)
o Roster storage and retrieval via LDAP
o Vcard storage and query via LDAP
Dude! --- from the admin list comes this email that basically sums up what we're trying to do here at Dartmouth. Well, if she or we figure it out, I'm sure that the other person will greatly benefit:
Other notes
we were talking about having a web-based interface for Jabber so that people could access it anywhere. Perhaps this project could give us that tool:
