Actually this is a very good point. I think that content management system like Satellite
is probably what you should look for.
Understood, but we are looking for something
not too complicated & possibly free - we are ready to accept that it is not 100%
reliable.
The beauty of using LDAP attributes is that it requires no special software to maintain
and it is easily implementable.
So despite its obvious disadvantages, I believe it would find its use in smaller
networks.
I am no expert over content management systems so if it (CMS) is on the IPA roadmap
already, then fine, but if not, then something like this
(ldap attrs) would be (maybe) a good starting point.
