The Drupal site "Get Started" page says that "Users can register and authenticate locally or using an external authentication source like Jabber, Blogger, LiveJournal or another Drupal website. For use on an intranet, Drupal can integrate with an LDAP server". And then for details, it is said at http://drupal.org/node/312, "Using distributed authentication", that for "Enabling the feature":

To enable this feature, turn on the 'drupal' module at Administer > Site Building > Modules (D5), and configure it at Administer > Site Configuration > Distributed authentication.

I cannot find the Distributed Authentication there. Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks. Shanben

goto administer -> modules
enable the drupal module

then continue to follow the documentation

sidenote: there are also LDAP modules in the downloads area that may aid in this type of feature.

it is simply called the drupal.module as I stated in my previous comment.

direction:

goto administer -> modules
scroll down to core modules
enable the drupal.module
save the form
then navigate to administer -> distributed authentication

If this module is not included in your installation, please double check your installation and make sure that you are using Drupal 5.x. drupal.module is not included in Drupal 6.x it was replaced by openid.module. If you are using Drupal 6.x the documentation you link to won't be of value. you will need documentation about the openid.module.
