LDAP Support [message #29529]

Hi there!

First of all, I would like to complement Ilia on producing an excellent forum software package. Its the best one I've found to date!

I was just wondering if there is or will be any support for LDAP directories?

My LDAP directory consists of a number of items, including:-

LDAP DN
User ID
Name (Given name & Surname, one field)
Given name (First name plus any middle name(s))
Surname
Directorate/Department
Job Title
Telephone
Mobile
Fax
Email address
Alternative email addresses

The above is shared with other services, including web email and calendar, where you only need enter your user ID and password.

What I was thinking of is having an option during installation or in the CP, where you can set the forum to get the user details from the MySQL database or an LDAP directory.

Login with User ID and password
Message author as "Name" or "Given name" (probably best as former)
Email address queried from directory
No member list as all data stored in directory. Alternatively, have a directory browser for members?
Logout destroys session data (stored in cookie?)

Having LDAP support would be a very useful and important feature, as it would allow the extension of the network. It would also mean that there was no repetition of data (the data would live and not out of date), saving time and of course money.

Just a thought.
