Hey Richard, Sorry to come back to this seemingly answered question! Although this did answer my question, I'm running into an issue now. Something happened in which required us all to change our ldap passwords, and though I would assume that if we used our new passwords, web2py would fail to match it with the password in the db and would use ldap next and login would still work, this doesn't seem to be the case. It is failing completely with the new ldap password. Any ideas on that?
Thanks!
