Description | Functions

LDAP user functions.

This file is intended to be used instead of the standard user.php file. I have not tested this yet (I do not have an LDAP server running yet), so please provide feedback.

This file contains all the functions for getting information about users. So, if you want to use an authentication scheme other than the webcal_user table, you can just create a new version of each function found below.

Note: this application assumes that usernames (logins) are unique.

Note #2: If you are using HTTP-based authentication, then you still need these functions and you will still need to add users to webcal_user.
