I'm interested in authenticating visitors to the site with ldap and active directory.

Are there jamroom triggers in place which might help cope with that?

Has anyone already made a module to handle anything similar?

What you would want to do here is use a db_get_item listener, and then in your listener check that:

- $_post['module'] = 'jrUser'
- $_post['option'] = 'login_save'

If that is the case, global $_post and check that $_post['user_email_or_name'] = LDAP username and $_post['user_password'] matches.

http://php.net/manual/en/book.ldap.php

Your listener would need to connect to the LDAP server and do the validation. If the login is INVALID, just do:

jrCore_set_form_notice('error', 26);
jrCore_form_result();

From right within your listener and that will give the user the "invalid user name or password" error.

Let me know if that helps.
