OSS IDM System - Some Thoughts
March 26, 2008 by mabatche.
Been a while since I’ve posted anything. My apologies if anyone is actually reading this stuff.
I’ve been thinking a lot more about that first question I ever posted.. “Wheres my opensource IDM solution”. And I certainly received some messages from a few people that pointed a few out to me - They all looked fairly promising.
But, I keep wondering if it would be possible to write a module that attaches itself to an openldap server (sort of like a persistent search on steroids) that could subscribe to changes that occur there. That way, you could use openLDAP as a “meta-directory”. From there, you could write connectors that connect to target systems.
This seems a lot like Novell’s IDM, only sort of the opensource brother to it.. without the XML/DirXML engine… (which i imagine is patented somehow anyways).
Any thoughts? Im just kind of rambling on here….
