hello |
| 14:30 |
aldaris |
hi |
| 14:32 |
alexi5 |
I am thinking of allowing my applications to authentication with a central system and was wondering if OpenDJ is sufficient or are there any benefits of using OPenAM for this |
| 14:32 |
alexi5 |
I don't need SSO |
| 14:32 |
aldaris |
opendj is not about authentication |
| 14:33 |
aldaris |
opendj is all about storing directory entries (users/groups), like a regular database |
| 14:33 |
alexi5 |
but can applications can authenticate against by making queries (LDAP) ? |
| 14:34 |
aldaris |
sure, they can |
| 14:35 |
aldaris |
just send a BIND operation over an LDAP connection and you are golden |

alexi5 |
does openAM offer any advantages given that I am not going to use any of the federated services and Single Sign on ? |
| 14:48 |
aldaris |
OpenAM has lots of features, it really depends on what you really want to achieve |
| 14:50 |
alexi5 |
for my purposes just central authentication and allow users to change their password |

aldaris |
am comes with a selfservice interface, with dj only you would need to write your own interface for that |
| 14:57 |
alexi5 |
hmm ok |
| 14:57 |
alexi5 |
I guess i'll try both see how they work out |
