Re: Bind using credentials from another directory server

Some time ago, I wrote a custom LDAP backend for hijacking authentication. My goal was to redirect it to a RADIUS server, but you could modify my code to authenticate against anything else.

For the specific case of RADIUS, a full backend is not needed. If your users already have LDAP entries, you can set their userpassword to use the {RADIUS} scheme which will cause a RADIUS server to be used for Simple Bind authentication. That code is in the contrib/slapd-modules/passwd directory in HEAD and will also be in 2.4.

I guess it did not exist at the time I hacked ldap2radius. Or I did not find it at that time.
