LDAP in ASERVE

Oops, sorry for wrong subject line in previous message.
Here is a version that will better fit
in threaded mail readers and archives.

Dear [email protected] readers,

I don't know if this is the right place to discuss such things,
but I'm looking into integrating some LDAP authentication into ASERVE.
Not that I think the web server integration is the hard task,
which instead seems to be getting a working LDAP client in Lisp.

* is this the right channel to discuss this?
* what is the Right(tm) approach to authenticating ASERVE users with LDAP?
* should I be growing CL-LDAP (a embryonic UFFI wrapper over OpenLDAP),
 developping a new Lisp-LDAP a la Perl-LDAP,
 or using some other trick to interface some other library?
* Is there already some user registration and authentification library
 that would make LDAP mostly irrelevant?

* If these things matters, let's assume ACL6.2 in ANSI mode under Windows
 or Linux here, though other platforms can be considered and
 a (semi)portable solution is even better.

* If you know a better channel to discuss these things, please suggest it.
* If you think this message is inappropriate, please tell me, too.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
