Hello,

I have GLPI working and using my departmental LDAP directory. However, for all of our intranet applications we use Pubcookie (www.pubcookie.org) to provide authentication before any intranet page/application is reached. This "Webauth"-type technology provides the Apache environment variable REMOTE_USER. I have been looking at GLPI login.php and auth.class.php with the idea of eliminating need to provide id/password -- simply use REMOTE_USER and initially put new user in lowest privilege profile. Use existing LDAP lookup to add additional user info (email, telephone) to GLPI user record.

I think I can see how to make this work for me. Before I start, is anyone already working on this? Also, perhaps making it official under GLPI setup?

I have found, with this type of persistent authentication, it is very important to add your actual user ID to super/admin group *before* turning on WebAuth :)

Merci en avance,

Jim
