I ask because I have the scenario coming up where one site will authenticate connections via radius, another site will handle email for the same users, but for reasons I cant go into the twain cant meet - I really dont want to maintain 2 separate logins for each user if its avoidable, and I do not have much control over the radius site. Any ideas are appreciated!
