I've been away a bit, so I haven't had a chance to test it thoroughly yet. I'm interested in writing a configurable LDAP backend, similar to the LDAP support in the dovecot IMAP server, such that it can be adapted to most environments (compatible with pam_ldap, for example). I say "most" because I realize I don't know enough about LDAP to do something that works for every possible environment. > Last night I put together a PAMBackend that uses pyPAM to authenticate > users against Linux PAM.

I'm afraid that in this case (and probably many others), your django app would need to be running as root. The case I was looking at, using pam_ldap, I believe the django app would need to be running as root to read /etc/ldap_secret. This caused me to abandon the idea of writing a PAM backend. But I can see from your example that there are some environments in which it would work. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
