I use LDAP at work, but I've never configured it. I think it might be a scary beast, but I'm totally uneducated. I'd really like to see us using OpenID.<br clear="all">--<br>contact info:<br><a href="http://www.johndbritton.com" target="_blank">http://www.johndbritton.com</a><br>

To make the change from Drupal to Lernanta we will need to migrate the<br>
existing user accounts at <a href="http://p2pu.org" target="_blank">p2pu.org</a>. To facilitate this process we are<br>
trying to decide between:<br>
<br>
1) Moving existing Drupal user accounts into LDAP. If the users are in<br>
LDAP it will be possible to authenticate using<br>
<a href="http://packages.python.org/django-auth-ldap/" target="_blank">http://packages.python.org/django-auth-ldap/</a> for Lernanta and<br>
<a href="http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration</a> for the drupal site.<br>
<br>
2) Use a custom django authentication backend in Lernanta (to<br>
authenticate against the drupal site database) during the first steps<br>
of the migration, and then move all the users from one database to the<br>
other when we stop to use the drupal site.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
If you have used LDAP before, please share your experiences ;)<br>
