Hello
I was wanting to know if someone would be interested in being paid to add "accounting" support into the RLM_LDAP module.
For this I am wanting when calling the ldap module during the "accounting" section so it can update/delete records in the LDAP directory based on the Acct-Status-Type and using a new field type into the ldap.attrmap. Ideally I would be looking for when you get an accounting Start it adds or updates an attribute, for an Interim-Update also add/update and for a Stop then removes the attribute.
Be careful of what you wish for and be aware of the design goals of various technologies. LDAP is designed for look-ups, it is not designed for frequent data updating. SQL databases are designed for frequent data updating as well as relational logic. You might be better served by keeping your accounting data in a SQL database, not an LDAP directory. -- John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com> Looking to carve out IT costs? www.redhat.com/carveoutcosts/
