Show HN: Lldap, a Simplified LDAP Server

• lldap

  76 3,473 9.2 Rust

  Light LDAP implementation

  

• glauth

  23 2,265 8.0 Go

  A lightweight LDAP server for development, home use, or CI

  

Another project, glauth: https://github.com/glauth/glauth. it's written in Go and has a declarative config--you can define users and groups in yaml. Makes it really easy to do HA etc.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• portunus

  1 73 7.7 Go

  Self-contained user/group management and authentication service

FWIW, I have another entry in the same genre: https://github.com/majewsky/portunus - Seems like there really is a lot of pain with LDAP to go around.

• ardour

  171 3,623 9.9 C++

  Mirror of Ardour Source Code

  

I say "lightweight" in terms of text and comprehension.

I say "fraught" because it imposes conditions on running this on the network. Perhaps fraught is too editorial. Regardless - in some environments, that "stickiness" of the GPL is a non-starter. One may say that "weeding out" those envs is part of the point. In my opinion though, for things like libraries or "lower level" software there seems to be a school of thought where "getting it out there" is more important than "saving it" from modifications.

I tend to think of GPL[2/3] as for end-user applications, like openoffice or ardour[0] (paging 'PaulDavisThe1st) and libraries and network services as mit/bsd/isc/lgpl so they can interact with Other Software without forcing anything on that Other Software.

I hesitated even posting my original comment, but don't mind getting a potentially new read on others devs point of view on this area.

Briefly, on "block[ing] companies ... that [don't] bring anything of value...", you also block orgs that would bring value, but might not want to be legislated to publish everything.

• PSOpenAD

  5 95 6.3 C#

  Cross-platform PowerShell module alternative to Microsoft's Active Directory module

I use Samba to setup an LDAP database that mostly reflects how the Active Directory schema looks like https://github.com/jborean93/PSOpenAD/blob/main/tools/setup-.... It's not perfect but a lot easier than trying to setup an actual Windows domain in a CI environment.

• sqlightning

  4 299 10.0 C

  SQLite3 ported to use LMDB instead of its original Btree code. See https://github.com/LumoSQL/LumoSQL for maintained fork.

  

I'm guessing you mean "and the software is fast enough", because OpenLDAP itself has been the world's fastest distributed database for over a decade, and nothing else even comes close.

Since you built on top of SQLite, then you're already at least an order of magnitude slower. You could speed it up a bit by using SQLightning, which replaces SQLite's Btree engine with OpenLDAP's.
