writing to LDAP

Rather new to Java\Tomcat authentication and LDAP...

I take it that the LDAP Processor can only query an LDAP directory server to read information? Is there a way to *write* to the LDAP directory server from within the Orbeon framework(the scenario where users can self-register)? Or is the assumption that user creation is typically handled outside of the framework and not by the users themselves? Just looking for best-practices or common scenarios.

Thanks,

John Meyer

Re: writing to LDAP

Hi John,

In the source code, I see that the code processes 'add' 'update' and
'delete' commands. I cannot quickly tell if the syntax to try is

<p:input name="filter">
<add>...</add>
</p:input>

or

<p:input name="add">
<add>
<name>...</name>
<attribute>
<name>...</name>
<value>...</value>
</attribute>
</add>
</p:input>

or something in between.

Anyway, you can see I have not tried it yet...
