Hi Steve,
Thank you for this script. I am sure that Alex and Pat will have comments soon.

I am really happy that you have taken the time to create it.

I would like to know from Alex or Pat if creating these external scripts is the way that we will be going in the future. Or is there some other way we should be aiming.

Either way your work will not be in vain.

Does this work for you at the moment?

Lance

Bongo-teers,

I've had the need for an email solution with an ldap auth subsystem for some time now. After bothering so_solid_moo and fatpelt about the possibility a while back, I finally buckled down and wrote a (very basic and hackish) shell script in PHP which handles the verification that a user exists and also authenticates the user. The shell script is minimally configurable and is destined to be called from within Bongo's MsgAPI Auth Backends. The script works straight from the commandline and is tested only on a single machine so far (openSUSE 11.2, PHP 5.2.12 w/ ldap module, openLDAP 2.4.12-5.5.1).

There are still several areas of improvement...

    * Handle various linux distros in regards to command line
      interpreter (#!/usr/bin/php in my case)
    * Scalability related to Bongo domains as well as LDAP DIT and schemas
    * Better ldap search builder
    * More flexible LDAP connection configuration
    * Etc.

This script simply may be a stop-gap until something better comes along. However, I'd like to open it up to feedback and improvement. Please find it below or attached.
