Hi,

Can I setup phpMyAdmin and quixplorer to use pubcookie (LDAP) for the authentication? Projects such as squirrelmail must already do this as most Universities use pubcookie with LDAP to do this.

I want to have one account for users, the same as their student account as opposed to 3 to 5. The extra accounts are for the department they are in: they need mysql (phpMyAdmin) access, and file management access (quixplorer) and through apache's htaccess/htpasswd directives to view their files online.

you may need to modify phpMyAdmin to use the LDAP system for authentication. From what I remember, phpMyAdmin will generally use the server it's connected to for authentication.

http://php.net/ldap for the LDAP functions..

You may want to have a look at the PEAR Auth package.

Or in case you are considering a single sign-on solution with CAS, there is http://sourceforge.net/projects/esup-phpcas
