I have to start testing some LDAP scenario's and determine a "prefered method" to implement it (2010 auth). Does anyone have a preference in how they configure their LDAP connections (UAG, AD FS, FBA, etc)? I will have duplicate accounts in the AD DS and LDAP Store, so it makes lean towards UAG or AD FS so I can merge or filter those accounts prior to SharePoint getting a hold of it. I'm all flush with theory, but not a practical implantation so any real world input is appreciated.
Oeh, nice. Just found a DocLib with excel-sheets (36mb each) with unlimited versions enabled. It now has 48 versions of one excel sheet, thus eating up 1.8 GB in the ContentDB. And there a more in there with many versions!
@KitMenke The problem is it is an external AD DS, but I can only utilize LDAP to get to it. Since it's an external domain, with no trust relationship, we have to pull in the LDAP query and do the authentication on my side. I'm still researching. UAG can use LDAP as an authentication store as well as AD FS. If I use Claims and AD FS I can ensure that both the native AD accounts and the duplicate LDAP accounts are not treated as separate accounts as they can be part of one claim.
If I use UAG to pull in LDAP I think I still need to set up FBA/LDAP on SP to consume it. I'm just in the early stages of research now. I guess I should keep good notes and post about it somewhere.
Oh, and I forgot, I also have the pleasure of ensuring SSO thru SmartCards with this setup. Easy for native AD DS, as for any of my other scenarios Ill have to see.
@KitMenke Maybe, I'm blogless at the moment, so maybe that will be excuse I have to start one :)
It would be great to have a blog as part of the SP SE site, where the gurus can post articles, FAQs, etc. It could also have a way for users to submit blog articles they've written or found and have the moderators add them to the main blog.
