To implement OpenLDAP as a directory service.

Yes it is possible. There is no special configuration for this. Also I have a small suggestion. Instead of using pwauth for authentication, PAM could be used. Below is a sample implementation of the verifyCredentials function. {{{ #!python import PAM def verifyCredentials(self,credentials): """ Verify that the given credentials can authenticate the principal represented by this record. @param credentials: the credentials to authenticate with. @return: C{True} if the given credentials match this record, C{False} otherwise. """ def pam_conv(auth, query_list, userData): return [(credentials.password, 0)] auth = PAM.pam() auth.start("caldav") # PAM service name is "caldav" auth.set_item(PAM.PAM_USER, credentials.username) auth.set_item(PAM.PAM_CONV, pam_conv) try: auth.authenticate() except PAM.error, resp: return False else: return True }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/260#comment:15> CalendarServer </> HTTP/WebDAV/CalDAV Server
