Awesome. While I cannot test your patches out yet, I'm currently working on getting much of our customer data into LDAP. This would make it much easier to cleanly integrate JFF into our existing environment, which currently has passwords for systems such as email, spam, jffnms, extranet, etc.. all in seperate spots. Just wanted to chime in that I think this idea is great, and it would be great if this (if the code checks out) gets integrated into the next JFF release. --falz ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
