I need to do mapping from openLDAP to RDBMS (Oracle 8.1.5), since our
system here just want to talk in LDAP instead to RDBMS. We have already
users' profile in the database, and has being accessed by several applications
directly to Oracle.
Can you give me a reference/site about interfacing LDAP to RDBMS, specifically
Oracle?

Hello! Occasionally I looked through this list archives, and found several relatively recent discussions on LDAP, RDBMS, their synchronization and interaction... I wish I've done it earlier... The point is that some time ago I contributed relatively general-purpose backend which handles RDBMS to LDAP mapping (back-sql). It is available via OpenLDAP CVS server in development branch. There's also some documentation there (I could post it here, or send it privately to those interested). Announcements were made at openldap-devel maillist and ITS, unfortunately not in this list... It seems to be a good candidate as something to start with, because it can handle situations with updates from both LDAP and RDBMS-side, works with variety of RDBMSes on both Un*x and Win32, and is transparent (and ready for) to standard replication scheme using slurpd (this usage constraints that modifications are made through LDAP only). Key feature is that it does not constrain any specific RDBMS schema - it in most cases can handle MAPPING of RDBMS schema into more or less standard and convenient LDAP schema. Performance depends on RDBMS schema - more indexes, better design - better performance :) As soon as I have a little time for it, I will commit several changes (bugfixes, increased tuning capabilities, more sampled RDBMSes) More documentation and samples are available through CVS (see OpenLDAP site for details)? and by email upon request to me (at mit@openldap.org). If you are interested, have any questions, suggestions etc. - please mail, or post followups... WBW, Dmitry
