No quite the same thing but.... We use Radius Radiator with MySQL and it works very well. Hope to have all the Cisco stuff getting its password from hear to soon... No direct connect but close?

Hello all, I have a weird request. Having lots of servers (with many MySQL ones), I try to centralize most of all authentication processes by using LDAP. This is possible with Apache, ProFTPd and such but I was wondering if we could do this with MySQL. I know this is special because this is generaly the contrary we want : being able to authenticate thru a MySQL server. I dont really know how this could be done. I just want MySQL to send the login and password to an LDAP server, this one responding 'yes' or 'no'. Maybe it could be possible/better to "export" all the mysql database... I even thought of a MySQL pam module which could permit /etc/passwd to be the authentication source. I could reach my needs by next using nsswitch-ldap. All suggestions/ideas are welcomed even if you find this idea completely stupid (which is probably true). Thanx !
