That would be the simplest method - for your existing users I would simply to "INSERT" statements into the database to register them.

Then I would set the cookies correctly to log them in or set the sessions up.

Querying off the LDAP server in a 'live' environment will be a neat trick but I have yet to do it and have not even heard of it being done.

It's one of my 'pet projects' but I am ways from getting it off the ground.

Making PhP connect to and list out a Public LDAP Server will be a good start but most of the samples I have not seen work correctly. Still working on it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
