Description
Hi,
Would it be possible to specify a column as an ldap login string when importing users, and also an alternate login name?
Compatibility with these 2 modules:
http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration
http://drupal.org/project/alt_login
So for example our site will have hundreds of users, all of who authenticate against an ldap database. I'd like to import their accounts from a spreadsheet, but specify the ldap authentication string, too, which can look something like this for example:
"uid=myusername,cn=users,dc=myserver,dc=ed,dc=mydomain,dc=edu"
And the alternate login module is so they can have their real (first and last) names displayed on Drupal, which still using a traditional lowercase username to login to LDAP.

Here are extensions that do this.
The alt_login one lets you pick a column to user for the alternative login name.
And the ldapauth one lets you set whether the 'use ldap authentication' checkbox is checked for each user. The ldap_dn string I found didn't need to be set, since it is filled in automatically when the user first logs in.

Would appreciate any feedback that these two support files work as advertised.
I'm not set up to test them, but I can review them for code quality and security.

Could you explain how to use this LDAP patch? It doesn't seem to be a standard patch file, unless I'm confused. I have a test environment and would be happy to give some feed back on it. We've been using the LDAP module for a while and have run into this problem a couple times and this would be really helpful for us.
