Do you have suggestions on how to avoid LDAP schema nightmares?  The
problem we ran into in the past with trying to use an LDAP server for a
single sign on solution is this application used a different schema than
this application, and so on and so on.  And updating entries or adding
to the schema was a technical nightmare.  The only lightweight thing
about LDAP is communication protocol.  Administration of LDAP is FAR
from lightweight.  In addition to the portability, and maintenance
issues, I also have heard that there are numerous security issues with
LDAP as well.
