I'm more familiar with Drupal so my response is more accurate for that. Drupal is PHP based and it's login scripts make calls to the user information stored in Drupal's Postgres / Mysql database. As it's PHP, I'd start off by looking at the authentication script and hacking up some PHP that looked instead at an LDAP server, or whatever other authentication regime you may be using. Both Mambo and Drupal use a database as the back end for it's content management and as I mentioned above, for their user authentication and have reasonably configurable access lists. When you've done this, remember to contribute back to the community, I'd like to use it too ;) -- Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children. -- Mark Twain
