V4 Name Server
From EPICSWIKI
Task
Investigate a network client API for data and name resolution.
Name Server
Hoping to use something existing. Get OpenLDAP and check the following:
- Can it be used to store record names, server addresses, maybe more ('primary' server, fields, ...)? Try a simple setup, use the command-line ldapsearch to retrieve data.
- Does it allow for redundant servers, automatically syncing?
- How to best interface it (API)?
Data
Is the low-level V4 CA client API all that's needed? Or is a wrapper needed that e.g. holds the data in a container?
- Waiting for 'caget' example code.
