Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Keith,

We've always seen LDAP as the information system. Therefore Sympa needs 
to interoperate with LDAP to build mailing lists (based on groups), 
authenticate users, provide privileges. But we don't see any interest 
for storing Sympa's internal data in LDAP. Sympa's database should not 
be accessed by external applications because these apps will thereby 
bypass authentication and authorization processes. If you need to access 
Sympa data, then you should rather access Sympa services via the SOAP 
interface.

Maybe you can explain what are your needs ?
