I hacked an odbc ldap backend for the validate program. On Tracy's validate page,
http://depts.washington.edu/ast/projects/validate/validate.html
validating a student number (not ssn) uses an ldap server running on vitcos that connects via ODBC to the development database (sequim). Adding ssn would now be trivial.
I initially was not too happy with ldap, but for well defined ways of looking at the data, ldap should be fine, once security is ironed out.
If you want to connect directly to the ldap server, try,
ldapsearch -h vitcos -p 4048 'sn=1033337'
Right now I'm trying to keep port 4048 up and running, while 4047 is used for development.
