I basically grab the userid from WebAccess and use that to do an LDAP lookup via PHP. The issue is that I believe it does that on each request, though I'm not certain of that. If it does, that's really wasteful. I just didn't have the time or inclination to do something more elegant. It works, but there should be a better way. If you want the code, drop me an email. mjscott at your domain. Hi Rob. I basically grab the userid from WebAccess and use that to do an LDAP lookup via PHP.

I have tried several different apache mod_auth modules for ldap, including one that was shared with me from ITS, but that one will not build on my web server. What was your final solution to the ldap authorization piece? Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way. Robert Snyder rns3ATpsuDOTedu Hi,
