Jeremy Byrne’s AussieInnovation weblog

The digital infrastructure underlying AussieInnovation.com is designed both to be informed by and to define world best practice, and as such it uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for storing information about members of the site. Unfortunately, LDAP is an enterprise-level technology yet to reach the mainstream of commercial web hosting, with leading host management application CPanel expecting to introduce support for the protocol in the coming months.

Thus, AussieInnovation.com has moved webhosts from the US to Australia, and is now utilising the server space and bandwidth of WA-based sponsors, boutique ISP secure.com.au. You should see performance at least as good from the local providers, and even though we’re expecting to need to move to slightly larger premises one day, we’ll be sticking with secure’s advanced identity and authentication services into the foreseeable future.
