[Serusers] LDAP authentication (without Radius)

[Arek Bekiersz]

Hello,


I went through the same problem. Used Radius + LDAP for a while.

Then only option for me was to write my own SER module, to perform digest
authentication, lookup, group membership checking and so on, in LDAP. It is
not so complicated though, can be really done in few days (ser 0.8.12)

Works fine since then. Now I'm building more and more solutions for SER
(including lcr and sdp manipulation, according to user profiles) based on
LDAP. I use MySQL only for ser location register - that's all.


Arek,
