Title:

Do The Right Thing!
How LDAP servers should help LDAP clients

Abstract:

This talk is about the highs and lows of implementing a generic interactive
LDAP client with web2ldap to be shown as example (because the author is biased
of course).

The main focus of this talk is to point out how important it is to have common
standard mechanisms to provide information to interactive clients so the
implementations can guide the user to do things right.

- rootDSE
- vendor information
- using schema at the client side (templating, plugins, fall-backs)
- how to truly optionally handle DIT content and structure rules, name forms
- number of entries/values
- find out about server-side access control (arrgh!)
- find out about server-side constraints?
- dealing with user's preferences
- audit logs

Some of this topics are shown with test servers of various vendors, some of
the topics should be viewed as possible work items for standardization.
