LDAP membership provider

[Yu Chai]

We are building our first asp.net 2.0 app.
We want to provide signle sign on for our users. We think that a directory
server is the way to go (we may use OpenLDAP)
However, I found that no LDAP membership provider is provided.
Anyone write this one already?
Any other advice?
thx

There is an Active Directory provider that works with ADAM, but no generic
LDAP version. You would have to modify the AD one or roll your own.

Note that SSO involves more than just being able to authenticate the user's
credentials though.

No. ADAM can be used as a store for its own users. You can authenticate
them via an LDAP simple bind (which is what the provider does). They cannot
be used for accessing Windows resources though.

There is lots of info about ADAM available on technet.
