You said many many UI but that one looks to be very basic which anyone can build in a day.
I really find it hard to manage LDAP without a intuitive clean UI and wonder why there aren't much demand for it.
- funkaster 8y agomy guess is that many people/orgs they don't use LDAP directly: it's used as the backend to manage permissions, groups, metadata, etc. They prob use their own system that relies on LDAP to manage the details of their org.
- kakwa_ 8y agoNot really in a day. You could probably hack something in day, hardcoding things like schemas, fields, and things like that. But having something that is reusable requires more work than a day. Just as an example, even handling ssl/tls is far from trivial (plain ssl vs startls, with certificate validation or not, with a custom CA or not), it took me easily a few days to understand the options python-ldap provides, expose the options in a clear manner in the config file, deal with errors to provide meaningful logs and properly test everything.
