Directory-Enabling Existing Applications Checklist
The following checklist summarizes the steps you should take when directory-enabling existing applications:
- Identify one or more needs that can be met by integration of an existing application with an LDAP directory service.
- Choose the best LDAP development tool for the task at hand.
- Choose an approach to LDAP integration that allows you to meet your goals and satisfy the application's users.
- Design your LDAP integration so that the resulting application coexists well with other directory-enabled applications and the directory service itself.
- Document how the application will be integrated with the directory service, and share that information with the people who maintain the directory service.
- Consider performance and scalability during LDAP integration design and implementation.
- Plan for the transition from the older version of the application to the new LDAP directory-enabled version.
