AW: Big hierarchical ZMS-Site with LDAP

hi,
couldn't you build your site as multi-site with a zms master-client-configuration in which the zms-master is exclusively used for configuration? 
Thus, one LDAPUserfolder in zms-master instance should be enough to configure all roles for the clients.

Betreff: [english 91%] [zms-developers] Big hierarchical ZMS-Site with LDAP

Hi ZMS-Developers,

we are building a big Site with a structure of hierarchicaly dependent
ZMS-Nodes.
The main public navigation should get implemented predominant within the
topmost ZMS-Node and should gain content by emedding links from the
subnodes.

We have a lot of different groups with different sights. I guess a lot
more than 200 roles (Subscribers, Editors, a lot of different
organisational units of our university, ...).

Authentication is provided by LDAP.

Please can you tell me, where I should place the LDAPUserfolder?

I think there are two ways:
a) Within the topmost ZMS-Node, with the effect of hundreds of Roles at
one single Location and all pros and cons.
b) LDAPUserfolder on each ZMS-Node and placing Roles where they affect.
But I think there would be some drawbacks concerning hierarchical
structure issues, am I right?

What would you recommend?

Regards
