LDAP is used as the standard mechanism for authentication;
you don't want to create user accounts for each and every system
you build in your environment (and have the users maintaining passwords).
Most programming languages have standard libraries dealing with this.

no, LDAP is only used for user/access control data.
all CLIO data should be in an (SQL) database.

"file" in this context is "source code file"

uploading spdx and keeping (and producing it when generating output)
is enough; processing is another task, which I think would
increase the project scope significantly.

SPDX files contain all the information on a package.
they are not "license file"; they contain information
on each and every file of the package (name, checksums,
license, copyright info, etc.).
yes, the idea is that each component could have a corresponding SPDX file
(uploaded after being generated externally).
