What Hacker News says
2 sourcesInteresting. Not sure about the requirement for "an LDAP server with sshPublicKey attributes on user records to store their SSH public keys." https://github.com/AdRoll/hologram
I know you can put anything into LDAP, but why treat it like a metadata service? Wouldn't it make more sense to store keys in something like etcd so they're accessible via simple REST api calls? In my experience, the less LDAP does, the happier everyone seems to be.
