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.
