I suggest we split this subject into two tasks and add them to the
volunteers list on typo3.org.
Tasks:
1) LDAP evaluation
- Check if LDAP is really needed or if plain SQL authentication would be
sufficient for the projects mentioned below
=> anyone?
- If LDAP is needed: Move fe_users of typo3.org into an LDAP repository
=> needs support from punkt.de who are probably familar with LDAP
already
2) Migration of trusted components
- Change typo3.org to do LDAP authentication
- Change INN (news server) to do LDAP authentication
- Change issue tracker (Mantis/Trac?) to do LDAP authentication
- Change Wiki (MediaWiki/Trac?) to do LDAP authentication
Btw. I think that this makes only sense for centralizing the authentication
but not the levels of authorisation.
