Hi,

I started using cakePHP not long ago and it's really nice. It works
great for me and my time and effort building web apps has decreased.
Thank you for this!

Right now I got this problem: I need to authentificate not against a
database but against a LDAP (Active Directory).

In the database I got a table employees, containing all employees with
their login name (not the password) and other data. When a employee is
sending his login name and password, I want to authentificate him
against the LDAP. If the password is correct AND his dataset is found
in the table (using his login name), the login was correct and he can
use the application.

Is their an easy way to handle this task with cakePHP? I have searched
the docs but only found the "normal" authentification against a
database. This is not possible as there is no way for me to read the
password from the LDAP into the database. I read something about
models representing LDAP entries, but didn't found any information on
that.

I hope you guys can help me!

Regards,
Sebastian
