I'd appreciate any improvements or additions to be submitted back

Written for PHP 4, should still work fine on PHP 5.

Thanks, I will look it to that link. Not really sure how to change the geeklog login to LDAP

In theory, it should be possible to hook this into Geeklog's new remote authentication feature. See Remote Authentication in Geeklog 1.4

Ok from what I can tell, the remote autherntication php file just needs to return a true and that person is in. If that person has a geeklog ID and it is the same as the remote authentication id, will they pick-up the groups checked for the geeklog ID?

Actually, when a remotely authenticated user logs into the site for the first time, a new local account is created for them. But it should also be possible to change an existing account into a remote user's account.

For details, try asking Mike.

Thanks Dirk...I'm not quite up to speed on the in's and outs of LDAP and remote auth for geeklog. I plan on looking further into it when I get the time, but feel free to jump in there anytime.

Ok Thanks for the info, I will work on this as time permitts and report back here when I have something.
