Has anyone thought to drop pts into ldap? The semantics of pts groups =
should not be that different from groupOfUniqueNames so the schema =
additions should be relatively minor(?) One implementation scenario is to=
=
drop the pts client altoghether and just keep the pts server as a =
protocol translator into ldap (authenticating to the directory server =
as afs@REALM over GSSAPI perhaps) and do all user and group admin in =
the directory server. I guess DCE must have a schema that kinda does
this but that may not be appropriate for afs.... Comments?
Cheers Leif
