Sorry...I have a thick skull. You keep telling me you aren't using OpenLDAP. I'll take a look at ApacheDS. Right now I'm just working with sendmail and dovecot and trying to get internal mail for the house. once I get it working, I'm going to take another stab at LDAP authentication.<br><blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><seanvanco@gmail.com><talk@nblug.org><seanvanco@gmail.com><talk@nblug.org><family_geek@yahoo.com><scottmc2@gmail.com><b2c273ce0709240716p62efd8f6y69f804a986faab94@mail.gmail.com><sampln@sbcglobal.net><talk@nblug.org><br>I'm planning to use ApacheDS (which is another LDAP server), not <br>OpenLDAP.

SSU does <br>something similar with their registration, webmail, and WebCT <br>systems, but I don't know exactly how it works (I don't work for IT).<br><br><br>--<br>Lincoln Peters <sampln@sbcglobal.net><br><br>There are no data that cannot be plotted on a straight line if the axis<br>are chosen correctly.<br></sampln@sbcglobal.net></talk@nblug.org></sampln@sbcglobal.net></b2c273ce0709240716p62efd8f6y69f804a986faab94@mail.gmail.com></scottmc2@gmail.com></family_geek@yahoo.com></talk@nblug.org></seanvanco@gmail.com></talk@nblug.org></seanvanco@gmail.com></blockquote><br>
