[Mailman-Users] Mailman & LDAP

[Donal Hunt]

I actually finished writing a patch for Mailman 2.0.2 during the summer
which worked just fine.
I'm starting work on the Mailman 2.1 authenticator in the near future
and should be ready around the end of December (could be a busy
christmas!!).

If anyone has an specific requirements for how Mailman & LDAP combine
drop me a mail.  For example I'm guessing most poeople will want to
integrate with an already existing directory service... Getting the
requirements for the authenticator right (there might be a need for 2
types) is key to it working for people - ie NDS, openldap, etc
differences.

Looks like the LDAP plug-in will be quite popular once someone writes
it...
