Ahhhh, so that's really interesting, LDAP as the frontend to an anything-but-LDAP backend! This feels like it might exist so I went looking, looks like Auth0 had this[0][1]. I'm not sure there are any open source projects that actually do this ldap-in-the-front-something-else-in-the-back, but you can get very close: - https://github.com/glauth/glauth https://github.com/glauth/glauth (ldap in front, local file/s3/ldap in the back, extensible) - https://github.com/kernel164/go389 https://github.com/kernel164/go389 (ldap in front, YAML file in the back) Seems like this is quite the unsolved problem (unless you're using Auth0). Maybe it's worth using Auth0 only for this. If you're going with the F/OSS solutions then it feels like you could either add a plugin (DB, OAuth maybe?) to glauth, or hack together some sort of system that updates the YAML/S3 as accounts get added. [EDIT] - Also looks like Joyent has put together a framework for LDAP clients and servers in JS... (http://ldapjs.org/server.html http://ldapjs.org/server.html). The raw pieces are there but someone would really need to put them together to offer the facade. [EDIT2] - Also in go: https://github.com/vjeantet/ldapserver https://github.com/vjeantet/ldapserver [EDIT3] - Original code listing for auth0's connector (https://github.com/auth0/auth0-ldap-endpoint https://github.com/auth0/auth0-ldap-endpoint), lib/routes/authenticate.js looks very easy to work around...
