question: OpenLDAP

[DoctorOgg]

Is there any plans on adding openldap support?

• for Authentication
• for provisioning users
• removing users

[GDay]

No plans for it right now, but it can be done. If anyone wants to sponsor prioritizing this feature, then I am open to it.

@GDay how much are we taking for funding?

@cuseeme it depends a bit on what is necessary:

1. if there already is an LDAP client that provides API endpoints (auth, user create and user delete), then ChiefOnboarding is almost compatible already. I would need to take another look at the PR that is currently open about allauth implementation as that allows for custom authentication options/endpoints. That could be getting more priority for 2k (USD).
2. if this needs to be implemented natively (so you directly communicate with the LDAP using ldap://127.0.0.1:389), then it needs more work and we would be looking at $12k (USD).

Prices are excluding vat (if applicable). Both options come with at least 90% test coverage, 6 months of support and at least 2 developers will work on this to make sure it all works correctly.
