LDAP Authentication
LDAP for SME Server
Maintainer

Description
This contribution for smeserver adds LDAP
This allows the use of SME user's database in other applications
- either local, eg. a LAMP app
- on the server itself, eg. egroupware
- on the local network, eg. another server in the local network which runs an ERP, but uses SME server user/group database
- or even a remote host, eg. a GLPI instance used to manage requests from several clients using SME server.
Some applications have the possibility to use imap/pop authentication (egroupware, GLPI, maybe others), but some don't offer this possibility, but can use only LDAP. imap/pop isn't as powerful as LDAP as we can only check user/password, whereas with LDAP, we can check other attributes, groups of the user etc.
