We are using OpenLDAP at present. But we are anticipating a huge growth in number of users. We are intented to support 300,000 users. Is that possible with openLDAP?Has any body tried it?
Also can i define various roles inside openldap?Can I also define groups inside openldap?

Exciting!

Of course, don't worry. OpenLDAP (not openLDAP) supports millions, billions and trillions!
Also can i define various roles inside openldap?Can I also define groups inside openldap?
If you're already using it you must have asked yourself these questions already? What are you trying to do so we can help explain the options?
Thanks.

Our requirement is still evolving and authentication is going to be quite complex. We might have groups and groups can have roles/subroles(i.e. a role called doctor can access as a physician and can access as a admin too). Based on which role user belongs we want to show personalized screens.
Thanks.

Authentication will be simple, I think you mean authorization.
We might have groups and groups can have roles/subroles(i.e. a role called doctor can access as a physician and can access as a admin too). Based on which role user belongs we want to show personalized screens.
Once you define something I'm sure we can help.
Thanks.
