My two cents.
It looks like Fedora Directory Service is a whole management platform.
BQ does not need a whole management platform, as it already is one.
To try to integrate the two of them would kind of seem pointless since
BQ uses it's own UI API. You would either have to recode all of BQ UI
or recode all of FDS UI. The second thing would be to make a handler
service. Remember CCE calls the Perl handlers to do all of the
magical backend. If you plan on using FDS, you will have to redo all
of the handler stuff to make sure that everything gets
built/modified/deleted, etc.
I would think using Openldap as the basis to remove CODB would
definitely be the way to go. I have never jumped into the way that
CCE works with writing to the CODB stuff, so I have no idea how hard
it would be to integrate the two. I think though by adding on the
complexity of FDS would ultimately be pointless, as your just
reinventing the wheel.
Now, on a side note. To have it to just CHECK, that may be something,
but any LDAP query browser will work just fine as well.
Good luck though!
