And how many LDAP implementations have mysql/postgresql behind the LDAP syntax?
Okay, I will be honest, I do not have that much ldap experience but I was under the impression that they used Berkeley DB or something. I did not know that some had a sql backend...
So LDAP is frequently WORST than just a direct SQL table lookup
We LOVE LAYERS. The Linux Kernel loves layers. We have to follow suit!

At least the few that I have dealt with. I LIKE LDAP. Much better than DAP any day of the year ;)
Which ones are those?
DAP ::= Directory Access Protocol. The OSI way.
Then some english chap (been over a decade back) realized that all we needed was a Lightweight DAP in the true IETF way. Though you still find some DAPish things buried in backends that have one LDAP server asking another for data.
