i think that mariadb will connect to ldap server and get information about user, that's the plugin you will create 2013/4/24 Samarth Mathur <samarth.math@gmail.com>
More clearly, my question is
if i'm making an authentication plugin, even the server side of the plugin, will communicate with an external LDAP server right? the server side plugin will consist of code on how to communicate with that, and not how to act like the server to the client?

Hi!
I have a few doubts.
Going through the internet, I've come across two major implementations of LDAP protocol The openLDAP, and the libpam_ldap library.
Both have a detailed information of client side implementation. However, openLDAP gives the slapd which is a standalone server daemon, whereas from the libpam_ldap library, I am able to gather the existence of an inbuilt ldap authentication system. Am I correct about that?
Which do you think will be useful to implement as a plugin for mariadb?
Thanks!
