LDAP Support

[TheFearlessDog]

Have been reading through the forums and noticed LDAP support will be available in 4.1
Is there any chance that we could try it in the current version?

Our workers ain't too happy about having to type out there long email address.
Our email address consist of the workers firstname intitial followed by their last name. Some workers have a lastname of over 8 characters follow this with our company email address and you have a extreamly long username.

Hey there,
As far as I'm aware, there's nothing in the code officially dealing with LDAP items. I'll double check with the devs though, but usually what you see in SVN, is what you get so to speak.

There's a LDAPLoginModule in plugins/cerberusweb.core/login.classes.php, but it seems that it isn't used at the moment. We would also like to see LDAP support for the backend.

Chris,

That LDAP login module was something put in as a proof of concept early on, and then commented out. I don't know that it would still work at this point with the changes that have been made, but it wasn't a shorter login anyway, since that one (being only a PoC), required the user to enter their full DN. ;-)

It's something we *do* want to implement (for both Worker logins and client/SC logins), but it's just been put behind several other things in terms of priority right now.
