[Deploying Sakai] SSL load balancing and fault tolerance for Sakai

[Steve Swinsburg]

If the other group of people are in their own LDAP, then you could use  
a chained LDAP provider which searches your institutional one first,  
then fallsback to the second (and third and so on).

I have an article here about LDAP in Sakai:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/~steve.swinsburg/LDAP+in 
+Sakai+2.5

If the chained LDAP approach seems reasonable, I can get you the code  
for it. Other people in the community have written other complex  
providers as well so what you want to be done is definitely doable.

cheers,
Steve
