And if so, is there any LDAP support available??

I'm also interested to learn what LDAP services are implemented in VW.
I've tried searching but come up with less than expected.

There's an LDAP package in public store (The one that ships with VW as
a parcel is broken in newer VWs). It's a port of JDAP.. so it's a
mess.. but it works well enough.

Not of immediate help, but I'm developing an LDAP server in Smalltalk
called Slaps.  I'll be talking about it at Smalltalk Solutions.

Hi Bruce,

we are the author of  the BPM-/Workflowsystem OfficeTalk, distributed by partners, and are highly interested in LDAP functionality for OfficeTalk . Can you tell me a little more about Slaps ?

The aim to to be able to have an LDAP server run inside a Smalltalk
image and that would include running in a GemStone Gem.

My goal is to have a primary LDAP service for OpenSkills which bases
it's responses on the contents of the persistent object model.  Much
as a Hyper HTTP server listens for HTTP requests and creates an
instance of HTTPRequest from the bytes that flow in from the socket,
and then writes out an HTTPResponse as bytes, so Slaps might create an
instance of SlpLDAPBindRequest or SlpLDAPSearchRequest from the bytes
flowing in off the socket and write bytes out on the socket based on
an instance of SlpLDAPBindResponse or SlpLDAPIntermediateResponse.

I am using gq as my test client for now and have binding working and
requests being completely parsed.  I need to create responses to
requests next, and then think about what else I need for OpenSkills.

Anyway this is not a finished thing, it is a work in progress.  You
can hear all about it at Smalltalk Solutions.

All the best,
    Bruce
