The only solution I can think of then is to prompt again the username and password of the user to use it as binding account, this imply that I have to securely store this data and it makes ldap authentication "useless" for me (since the point of this authentication was to gather those information).
Is there a solution I'm missing for my problem ? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
