There might be some minor details that I am not aware of, but if you setup correct settings, other things should work okay. You *may* have to create your own Sign-In pages though. I am assuming you won't have a sign-up page.
We will be using the same Sign-In page and we will also be having Sign-Up pages. The Sign-Up page is required to make an entry of the registered user in the mailman DB. We are already having an ldap database of the users we want to use the same ldap for our mailman authentication also. We don't want to make a new ldap server setup for this. Our way of Approach is 1. User will sign up in the mailman and his username will be noted in the database. 2. When ever user tries to login he should get the authenticated by ldap which is already running for other services. 3. We need only moderators and list owners to login in to the mailman but out ldap will be having even the members entries also which makes the login of members also possible. 4. To restrict the login of members into mailman we thought of authenticating to the members who are registered in mailman database. 5. So first when user tries to login his username has to be checked in mailman database if the particular entry is present then he should be authenticated by ldap. Please help me in any deviation in the above approach. As the client requirement is as above I thought of achieving this way. Your inputs are most welcome.
