[ome-users] LDAP use case

[Stephen Ogg]

Hi Omero users-
I have an omero instantiation that I'd like to do more than just  
authenticate with LDAP. I have an LDAP server where I've created users  
and groups (about 150 users and maybe 15 groups) that I use to allow  
authentication and directory services for all of our microscope  
resources. I'd like to get this information into omero from the ldap  
server rather than recreate it within the omero administrative  
interface.
Anybody know whether this is possible? I checked out the install-ldap  
pages at the openmicroscopy website and I don't think that this is one  
of the use cases that is currently supported?

I do have omero currently configured to authenticate using our ldap  
server and that is working well, but users authenticate without  
bringing any group information with them.

I use the ldap to provide group information for users and to  
synchronise our users authentication credentials between unix/linux  
and windows machines.



Thanks for any suggestions -
Steve
