That won't really work as LDAP can't read a browser cookie or maintain session information. LDAP is a good choice as storage backend. Your best bet is probably to use an OpenID based solution, as support for this sign on method is growing in web applications, so you lessen the chance of having to maintain your custom glue into the application. The security/phpmyid port is one implementation that allows you to run your own OpenID server. http://openid.net/ -- Mel
