Subject: Re: [base] LDAP authentication (or possible alternatives)
Hi,
I still haven't managed to get LDAP authentication running, but I did
find an alternative that seems to work for me, at least as far as I can
tell (I still need to test it more). The solution, of course, was to
install a POP3 server that authenticates to our LDAP server.
I'd still like to get LDAP working, because this is far from elegant,
but at least I have something I can use. I'll probably learn some more
Java first and then I'll go back to my LDAP plugin.
