Hi all,

> This way the parts are put in place to then later extend with OpenID;
giving a bit more time to investigate those possible projects/products that
Richard has recently mentioned.

Unfortunately the Open Identity Stack (OpenAM + OpenDJ + OpenIDM)  includes
an intergrated LDAP server as part of OpenDJ.

Therefore if you want to use another LDAP server, then you might want to
rule that one out for the sake of the Admin's sanity (you can use the parts
individually with other software, but it is politely described as being a
"complex" process). The whole OIC suite is generlly considered to be very
powerful, yet very complex.

Of course Crowd, unlike the Open Identity Stack, is not a fully intergated
package and therefore requires other software such as OpenLDAP and the
Apache Directory Studio; both of which Altassain recommends on their
website.

Whether it is a decision to pick OpenLDAP+Crowd; OpenDS+OpenIPA or some
other mix, this can wait until later if it is decided to take a
non-intergrated path.

But the integrated OIC path kind of requires decision whether to drop it
now, or at least a decision on whether or not to use OpenDJ as the LDAP
server.
