Did the contributors junk this?

Who originally wrote the integration module and why did they give up after 4.2rc ?

LDAP was developed as a paid module, so it's likely the the original sponsor does not need an updated one.

i wrote ldap_integration.module as a paid project. i have not updated it because the client doesn't need an update, and neither do i. i am available to update it as a paid project. please see some information about me.

webserver_auth is an elegant solution to the authentication part of ldap. it works with CVS Drupal. No attempt has been made to make a 4.4 compatible version. i will make a 4.5 version when that release becomes available.

Ok then, I will just wait for the 4.5 release...

And I will just take a look at the ldap_integration.module and see how it fits to my needs..

Thanks a lot.

pardon me, but it's not clear to me what this module does.. can i use this to authenticate users on my site using LDAP? or should i use ldap_integration.module to obtain this?

thanks a lot

yes you can, provided that your web server handles the LDAP part. USe mod_ldap or IIS authenticationin the web server config

i'm trying to think how this module works, limitations and so on. What would i restrict in the .htaccess file, a drupal URL? That wouldn't work because the Location directive is only allowed in the server config file ... not .htaccess.

Does anyone have some examples of putting this to use? I'm thinking it is not as powerful as mod_auth_ldap and the other apache modules while using a site with files so one can make use of directives like Directory and Files (rather than php).

confused.. and hoping this thread isn't dead since i'm don't know why someone would get the random urge to revisit some thread they wrote months ago unless they're some notification feature i don't know about.

so i'm interested in writing more ldap integration code to make drupal
more aware of ldap groups and implement some of the things that make
mod_auth_ldap so handy. looks like a fairly substantial undertaking in particular developing user.module.

any advice?

I'm also interested in the LDAP module.

I am using Apache on Windows... The Webauth module really does not seem to work for me. Anyone got tips for me on this ?

if you can get http auth to work then webserver_auth.module should work. where do you just stick your auth rules? in the top .htaccess file? need more info.

i think the webserver_auth module works great for
what it's supposed to do, but it doens't provide nearly as
much power as files + apache + mod_auth_ldap.

so i'm talking about starting a new project, probably, and looking for people
who might be interested since i'm not that familiar with programming this.
