I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this question.

I have a drupal site with a current userbase that also have accounts on another system that uses LDAP authentication. The drupal site and the system with LDAP are located on completely different domains.

Some of the usernames may be different but I'd like to authenticate my drupal users against the other system's LDAP. Is it possible to integrate LDAP into an existing drupal site after the fact? How would different usernames for the same people be handled - would they have to be changed locally to match up? Can that be done?

Clearing out old support requests - reopen if problem still exists in newest code (dev)

That said - It all depends if you can map the user name to the ldap entry. Either using the transformation code admin settings or by mapping the right attribute to the current drupal id. If you can do this, then I believe the new ldapsync module (in dev version) will flag current users as ldap authenticated users.
