Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find it in the archives. I'm interested in replacing the logon screen for the list with one that asks for the email address and password for the user, checks if they are an owner or moderator, then if so, checks to see if they can bind successfully to the given ldap, and if so, logs them in with their owner or moderator permissions. Has anyone implemented or worked on anything like this?

particular LDAP setup.
I have spoken with people at a number of other institutions that were
interested in similar single-sign-on support for the Mailman web
interface, and there has been extensive discussion on the -developers
list about making it a part of the Mailman core. However, it's
unlikely they will be making any changes that significant until after
Mailman 2.2, which is the next planned major release.
Basically, the answer right now is "roll your own," though I might be
able to dig through our patches and find some starting points if you
were going to begin work towards such a goal.
Hope that helps,
