The questions: Do any Mailman-to-LDAP "connectors" exist?
Do any single-view-for-all-subscriptions software packages exist for Mailman? The background details: My collaboration site plans to offer several Mailman lists in addition to its existing applications (MediaWiki, phpBB, Subversion, and more to come). We use a single/common account-registration capability across all these existing apps using an LDAP-based user-accounting mechanism. We would to bring Mailman into this LDAP-based registration scheme. Further, we would like to have a "Mailman email-list subscription overview" page in which we allow the LDAP-registered-and-signed-on user to be able so simply select in one page view--probably with a list of email lists presented to them with checkboxes next to each list allowing the user to mark a list as "subscribed" or "unsubscribed." We are looking for software packages that have already solved this problem. Does anyone know of any? We haven't found any--although our search has not been exhaustive. Some simple googles haven't found anything, nor has <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> produced anything for "ldap" or "single subscription" or "subscription page". We were considering rolling our own stuff, but I thought I'd ask here before proceeding. An aside: we don't have single-sign-on capability on our site yet, but that will be coming shortly, too. Right now the user has to sign on with each app. Another aside: We have been working with a similar "internal" collaboration site with several functional and popular Mailman lists, but this sight had no integrated registration or login--each app, including Mailman, had a different account namespace. We have now fired up a "public" collaboration site (our project has open-sourced) to replace a part of this internal-site's activity, and we don't want the user experience to be as fractured on our public site as our private/internal site. -Matt ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
