Re: Enhancing back-sock to use JSON

So would the use case for this be to talk to a JSON database like MongoDB via the LDAP protocol?

Not directly. I didn’t change the transport from back-sock which is still a local socket. You can now write a simple JSON-RPC server taking method calls send from OpenLDAP according to the incoming native LDAP requests. The implementation is connection-aware via cookies and multithreaded. This allows to glue on legacy data systems easily in any language that understands JSON-RPC. Of course you could also write a translator to MongoDB. In the future it may be enhanced to use a real HTTPS connection.
