The scenario is as follows: I have an OpenLDAP directory with several hundred users in it. For the records I’m using the normal inetorgperson schema.

I want to add an openid attribute for my users (in a responsible and proper way) so that I can associate users with multiple arbitrary external OpenID providers.

All I’ve managed to find on the net about this was a blog at oracle discussing how this is an issue and how it would be a really good idea to do something about it.

I’m all at sea – how on earth am I supposed to do this? Do I create a new subclass of inetorgperson and migrate everyone on to it? Can I do this without breaking everything? Do I hackily use the “labeledURI” attribute and just shove things in there?

Come on lazyweb!
