[higgins-dev] Questions/Comments on JNDI CP

["Marc Boorshtein" <mboorshtein@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a few questions/comments on the JNDI CP:

1.  Why does the JNDI CP assume that the username will be the rdn (or
a part of the dn) of the user's object?  It is fairly common to have
the RDN be a non-username attribute (such as a unique id number).  Why
not use the typical pattern of "search for the user then bind".  This
also has the disadvantage or requiring all users to be in the same
subcontext of the DIT.

2.  I see jldap is a part of the JNDI CP packages, why use JNDI as
opposed to JLDAP?

Thanks
Marc
