Answer 1

In Enterprise situations, you’re likely to encounter

• A requirement to use LDAP and/or some form of single-sign-on
• Hostile or indifferent DBAs, who may hold veto power over your being able to deploy unless you get them on board very early
• Hostile or indifferent Ops people (see above)
• Having to deploy onto machines that you can’t fully dictate the configurations of
• The need to understand and cope with whatever backup scheme is in use
• SOX compliance, which may require that you both have more access control and more auditability than you’d ever considered necessary

These are often “rude surprises” that drive rework and rearchitecting for first-timers in Enterprise land.
