I have installed your OpenId application and it runs. But when I use the generated claim URL, it seems that your application doesn't return back the user's attribute "mail".

It should be "<realm-name>OpenDS</realm-name>". Re: An out-of-the-box OpenID server built atop OpenDS and Java EE Trey Drake 2007-07-03T08:29:44+00:00 2007-07-03T08:29:44+00:00 Looks like you're missing the JSF bits. I deployed on Glassfish w/o issue as JSF is included as part of Java EE 5. I encourage you to look at the OpenID provider developed within the OpenSSO project @ Its production quality and can be wired up to OpenDS.

Re: Atom and LDAP sitting in a tree... Trey Drake 2007-06-25T08:09:18+00:00 2007-06-25T08:09:18+00:00 OpenDS is 100% opensource and completely free to extend and deploy. It remains to be seen how Sun and/or other ISVs will price a commercially licensed OpenDS derivative. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that the current Sun, commercial offering does provide a per-employee/subscriber pricing model which IMO is compatible with its use as a blog data store.

Re: LDAP vs relational database (Part 2) Trey Drake 2007-05-31T09:27:59+00:00 2007-05-31T09:27:59+00:00 You can request a PEN (private enterprise number) from IANA here: The prefix is fixed and appended with your PEN. You're then free to append suffixes to uniquely identity your schema. You should not use arbitrary OIDs as you're bound to stomp on someone else's namespace. Re: LDAP vs relational database (Part 2) rektide 2007-05-30T13:18:27+00:00 2007-05-30T13:18:27+00:00 i could not find where in IANA i was supposed to register a private OID. OID's have been one of my primary grievances against LDAP for a long long time, but if there way to get a globally unique private OID, it would go a long way towards making me feel like LDAP and OpenDS was an acceptable place for all structured data, and not just the stuff that has always had an LDAP schema. thusfar my practice has been making up byzantine numbers and assuming it would never be a problem locally.<br /><br /> thanks for hte followup post, its an excellent exploration of how OpenDS does and could in the future meet up against relational systems. Re: Atom and LDAP sitting in a tree... Trey Drake 2007-05-29T19:30:43+00:00 2007-05-29T19:30:43+00:00 We're hoping to fix the "best practices" problem, at least as far as best practices go with OpenDS. You'll find that the users and dev aliases or very responsive. Also checkout. <hr/> The Atom project does explicitly setup a user workspace and a default set of collections (entry and media) for publishing arbitrary Atom data; e.g., blogs. I'll document it soon, but it should work out of the box. In the future this facility will be configurable. At the moment the workspace is created in a separate bucket directly beneath the user's DN; e.g., ou=workspace,uid=treydrake,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com. See the docs and wiki @ atom.dev.java.net and feel free to post your questions on the Atom mailing list. Thanks! Trey Re: Atom and LDAP sitting in a tree... rektide 2007-05-29T08:57:59+00:00 2007-05-29T08:57:59+00:00 the only entity i could think to compare against would be gdata. it doesnt use APP per se, but it does riff off the general RESTiness we see in APP, and it definitely uses a permutation of atom (that i personally think makes a lot of sense). of course, the difference is gdata is the api, and this insane awsomeness is simply a web api on top of an existing ldap infrastructure, which is just fantastic. i unfortuantely dont know nearly enough about managing security in an LDAP environment to be able to hack out data environments in LDAP. LDAP provides many hammers but the net provides extremely little in terms of best practices. i've setup quite a number of ldap databases and although some of them did end up viable, i've never been particularly happy with the implementation. can users do things like create APP workspaces and upload arbitrary data into the directory?

The ldif file should be dropped in $opends_home/config/schema. I'll file an OpenDS bug on the error message as the error you're getting certainly doesn't point you in the right direction (missing schema). Thanks, Trey
