Notes:
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) offers an attractive protocol for accessing directory or white pages type information which could be used in an authorization architecture. Once authenticated and LDAP server could be queried for information profiling the individual. Are they employed by the university? Are they faculty, clinician, staff, student? What department are they associated with? What is their job title and function?
Our current concerns with LDAP are interfacing with existing legacy directory data and query forwarding. We are also interested in how LDAP might be used to store X.509 certificates to address mobile user issues.
