After attending a one-day conference on the subject, I'm impressed enough to consider using MongoDB to store ePTIDs and (eventually) uApprove data.

The IdP v2 connector looks to be written by a 10gen programmer. From my Java-naive point of view, it looked to require a decent understanding of what's going on at that level of the code.

Will IdP v3 require this type of adapter/code, or will v3 perhaps use something along the lines of Spring Data to manage technology-specific aspects of the data source?

Alternatively, might there be a facility/framework for storing ePTIDs etc. in LDAP?

Thanks.
Tom.
