I'm not saying that LDAP is simple, but compared to jenkins, its a delight to setup (although openLDAP is just stupid, why keep the config inside the LDAP instance it's self(and yes I know the justification....))
- STRML 11y agoAgreed, dealing with LDAP would be far, far easier if there were a single monolithic config file (or hell, even a folder full of config files) instead of the unbelievably complex LDIF process. LDAP, or LDAP + Radius (for integration with a second factor) is still a dynamite technology and pretty much required once a network / team reaches a certain size. There's definitely demand for an "EasyLDAP" or the like that offers sane defaults and easy config for deployment in a cloud environment.
- stephenr 11y agoYou can use the config file option - it's just not the default anymore in openldap. Also, having config in the db means you can make online configuration changes that take effect instantly and are replicated to all other replicas.
