How feasible would it be to tie in LDAP file permissions into Drupal's user access permissions? For example, in order to grant any kind of file access permissions to individual users, I have to grant the server web user (IUSR in Windows) read, write, and modify access. What I'd like to do is simply have Drupal look at the LDAP user and their Windows permissions rather than messing with the www/IUSR user's since technically that is like giving everyone on the site modify access to the files folder. Does that make sense?

Not possible. Somehow, if system calls are made ldap aware, then may be. but that would be cost-prohibitive from every resource expenditure perspective.

Thanks for the follow-up. I'm enjoying the LDAP module very much. Good work.
