Hello everyone I would like to request a module for changing th auth method from the XOOPS standar ( MySQL ) to LDAP ( openeLDAP to be specfic ). I have already taken a look at the auth hack for LDAP but for some reason this will not work with openLDAP. The idea seems pretty simple, but without a greater knowldge of XOOPS and LDAP this has proven to be a challenge for me. The basic method would be to do the following:

1) Set the LDAP directory params, i.e. base dn, host, user attribute.

2) Connect to the LDAP and error if no connection can be made;

3) Bind to the LDAP as the users from the form with given password.

4) Search LDAP leaf for given user info and store that.

5) Build user in the XOOPS DB if not present.

6) Allow access if return from bind == 1.

This may sound a bit simple to some, but for me without the greater understanding of how the system works, and the lack of documentation this is a real nightmare so I come to you all asking for help with this I will even be welcome to pointers so I may try to make this myself PLEASE help if possible.

Thanks
