Creating the Broker’s Login Service

Ringmaster

Most of today has been spent working on the latest rewrite of The Broker - but this guy is the distributed erlang version where the service registry, distribution, routing, etc. are all handled by erlang. This guy will then be a little node on each server that uses or provides services, and it'll connect into a web of other such nodes and share it's state to all so that we can load balance around the net, and provide some nice fault-tolerance.

Today I spent a lot of time working on the login service. There's a lot there because I have to get the LDAP authentication going and then deal with the mongo database - all from erlang. There's a good start, but I'm still very new to erlang, and this is just plain slow going.
