Hi,

I am new to LDAP.

Currently our security schema is supported by database. To learn LDAP, I am planning to migrate RDBMS schema to LDAP.

· How to migrate relationship between tables in DB to LDAP

· How to add attributes not supported by Standard LDAP objects like AgreedToTermsDate(date), SuccessLogins(int), FiledLogins(int) which are captured in the current system as part of use info (How to add FailedLogin etc attributes to inetOrgPerson)

Are there any good books that discusses this.
 
You are going to have issues if you try to make LDAP fit an RDBMS model... LDAP directories are not relational dbs, they are a heirarctical view of the data (think upsidedown family tree, or DNS...)

As far as adding custome objects and attributes, that is quite easy, and depending on your LDAP implementation (what product you are using) can be done in various ways ...

More info is required :)
