Using LDAP-API's

Implementers (archive)

Hi all,

Are there any thoughts about using LDAP-API's in conjunction with OpenEHR.

This question comes to me because of the desire of a customer to use
Google Apps
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=106368

With Google Apps Directory Sync, you can automatically provision users,
groups and non-employee contacts based on the user data in a LDAP server

There are some possible solutions that come up.

- Create a layer of LDAP-API's around the kernel demographic part, I
cannot oversee at this moment if this is feasable
- Run an LDAP-server parallel to a demographic service and write a
routine which syncrohises the LDAP and the demographic-service.
- Or a third possibility is to replace a OpenEHR-demographic-service
with an LDAP service. i don't know if it is possible to implement the
demographic specs in LDAP-scheme's

Some having any idea's?

Another question, anyone having ideas on implementing the complete
OpenEHR kernel in LDAP-scheme's. But maybe this is a stupid question. :wink:

Here in IBIME we have made some research in this area. We presented a
communication on a congress about it.
PDF is in English, but a more detailed explanation of the LDAP use is
on the presentation (the problem is that presentation is written in
Spanish)

Hope it helps

Thanks very much,

I'lll find my way in the Spanish, I looked at it, I think I can
understand it, with help from Google-translate for some words.

Thanks again
