Create API example for integration with LDAP #196

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
LDAP integration for company / university integration would be nice. It
would allow a single sign-in environment. The only competitor for AD / LDAP
integration is dimdim as far as I know.

Hi,

Perhaps you can take a look at bbb-xml-api.pdf on the downloads section and 
provide 
idea how that fits into the API. Can you provide ideas/pointers on how we can 
include 
that in the API?

Thanks.

Please also specify what you want to be able to sign in to with LDAP.  Is it to 
an
actual conference, or to the conference scheduling application?

I think both...

Admins exist on ldap directory service...
And users (students) on a university have user accounts on ldap too , since 
they are
already registered and have access to physical resources (linux / WinNT, ...) 
so for
bbb be used on a university and like e-learning stuff / conferencing I think 
maybe
access to conference should be validated against ldap.

BOTH!

I think this would be beneficial in the corporate environment as well, having 
to 
manage multiple databases of users is a pain and cumbersome, and if BBB could 
communicate to our Active Directory server via LDAP for authentication/user 
management that would be great.  I have used other open source projects that 
have 
this type of integration that you may want to look into, for example DimDim has 
already been mentioned, but we use OpenUpload 
(http://openupload.sourceforge.net/) to 
transfer files larger than our e-mail limit, and it has LDAP integration for 
authentication/group management.  Of course, it's using php for it's framework, 
so 
not sure if that makes a huge difference or not.

Count me in. I used OpenFire for IM service. It's easier to provide service to 
AD's
users vie LDAP. Thanks,

LDAP is a big one for us to. SSO would be a nice add on as well

This would be a good project to create some API examples of using the 
BigBlueButton API + LDAP database
