ORBIT uses the oppen-source implementation of the The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) from [[http://www.openldap.org/ OpenLDAP]].  Many of the ideas about using LDAP to implement RBAC on ORBIT are from this site.  There is also an O'Reilly book:  [[http://orbit-lab.org/attachment/wiki/Internal/Rbac/RbacResources/862262.pdf Car03]] Gerald Carter. ''LDAP System Administration''. O'Reilly Media, Inc., Sebastopol, CA, USA, March 2003.
