H.350 proposes to authenticate people using LDAP. However, I feel it is not so well-suited for large number of users than the above approach. The only problem is that : - the LDAP server with the database backend must only list currently online people => we need 2 tables, one with the registered users and one with their info. > Would it be hard to modify opengk to do this publishing?
