LDAP vs MYSQL.. JA-SIG CAS with LDAP vs CAS with MySQL.
Right now we have user id, password and roles in LDAP and is working with CAS and Spring Secuirty. My firm is looking to remove the data from LDAP and to put it into MySQL. I would love to hear comments on why we should stay with LDAP.
LDAP is a directory service. It’s primary purpose for existence is as a repository of security information. Trying to store this same kind of information in MySQL would basically mean replicating alot of the functionality that LDAP already provides. Typically you see corporations migrating from custom database solutions to directory services – not the other way around.
