[phplib] LDAP auth, MySQL session? From: Roy Hoover (rhoover <email protected>)
Date: 09/22/00

I have several sites running with authentication and session management running from a MySQL database. This is woorking great. My next project however, involves user accounts already stored in an LDAP directory. One of the design goals is to have only one user database so importing them into MySQL isn't possible. Also, the user list in the LDAP server gets updated every few days.

I would like to be able to use the userid, password, and privileges that are stored in the LDAP directory but still use MySQL for the session management. Has anyone done anything like this?

Is this feasible or would it be better to just put the session management in the LDAP database too? I would like to keep the LDAP structure as clean as possible.

Any input is appreciated.
