LDAP single Directory Multiple Sites

[Bill Engle]

Hi,

I am developing a number of intertwined Joomla! 1.5 sites which will
all point to the same OpenDirectory.

Currently I have authentication against OpenDirectory and user
creation in OpenDirectory working when a user registers on Joomla
site.

Is there some way to satisfy the following case with:

- Website A and Website B point to same directory DN.
- User registers on Website B, account is created in Joomla and
corresponding account is created in directory.
- User logs in to Website A without registering. Directory is queried
for user, match is found and password is validated. Then account
record is created in Website A Joomla db.

This is probably more third party question but just want to know if I
need to develop this functionality.

I did E-mail Sam Moffat about this but maybe someone else knows.

Thanks,

Bill

Well I got the above scenario to work with three plug-ins
unfortunately it took me a few days in between other projects and I
was definitely on my own with this. Authentication - LDAP, User -
LDAP, User Source - LDAP. User Source - LDAP was the plug-in that I
had to play around with to get this to work.

I'll probably do a write up on this as I can't image it being that
rare of a configuration. Maybe I am wrong.

Hi Bill. A write up for this would be great. Perhaps you could put it
in the wiki under Category:Tips and tricks
(http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Tips_and_tricks
(http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Tips_and_tricks), unless someone can
think of a better place for it. Thanks. Mark

Mark,

I will definitely put a write up somewhere. I am unsure where to put
this since only the first plug-in is part of Joomla! core. The other
two plug-ins are part of the JAuthTools collection.

If the JAuthTools plugin is GPL, I don't think there is any problem
putting in on the wiki. If it's commercial, it could be an issue, I
guess. Mark

Hi Bill,

I would like to know how you are coming with this. It sounds very
interesting and I am sure alot of people could use such a system.
There are systems out there but they do not always work of are very
limited.

Please keep me posted on you project, I wish you success.
