Leo, this is the way we have set up our site. We have a library of php functions that communicate with the ldap server, and this library is used throughout our entire site, not just the wiki.
Then in config.php, we have:
include("/Library/WebServer/Documents/general/subroutines/php/gid_functions.php");
For example, one of the functions is "TestGroupMembership". In config.php we then can write:
if( TestGroupMembership($user,"faculty") )
{ $AuthList["@Faculty"]=1;
$Facultygroup=1; }
This works well, we can then either use the AuthUser facility in PmWiki, or the if enabled on the $Facultygroup variable, according to need.
