Just a question about using DB for authentication.
as every where ldap is stated i have no clue what i can do with it
Can you use it as you have another mysql db for user lookup, logging in etc?
If so what do you need to fill in in the fields???
cheers

Re: question about authentication DB
LDAP has nothing to do with MySQL.
Re: question about authentication DB
I know but when you take a look at acp>authentication and select DB for it. All forms lists LDAP and i was wondering if you can use the DB function to connect to another DB where you are storing user info. As now im running a joomlaboard with phpBB with some tweaks ets. And it would be nicer if i just could point phpBB out where joomla is storing userinfo.
That was what im asking not if LDAP the same was as MySQL

Re: question about authentication DB
I have a similar problem. Currently LDAP authorization works like that (correct me if I am wrong): if a new user logs on to LDAP server successfully - a new user is created in PhpBB database. I have modified the behaviour to let LDAP users log in with their LDAP credentials as well as allowing new users to be created as usual. I believe you'll need a MOD for you scenario. Don't expect to get this out-of-the-box.

How did you do this? I need the same solution.friendly-art wrote:I have modified the behaviour to let LDAP users log in with their LDAP credentials as well as allowing new users to be created as usual.
