LDAP isn't so slow, but it has a longer latency. If you are performing
synchronous operations on users (EG running a script to check the ownership
on each home directory) then doing it through LDAP can make it take more than
5 times longer (it did for me when I was testing this).
However as my Linux laptop running LDAP was still twice as fast as the AIX
machine I was deploying on I wasn't so worried about performance. ;)
You can do LDAP over SSL. I've never done it, but I don't expect it to be
that difficult.
Of course if your LDAP server is local and only allows connections from
127.0.0.1 then SSL isn't really needed.
