You could use LDAP to query the AD for user group membership. When logged in the variables AUTH_PASSWORD and AUTH_USER are set in PHP, use these in LDAP query to find the user. LDAP support is built into MS-AD, but I don't know if it's working. I do the same thing on Novell NDS, and that's working perfect. > I think that I can use cookies to store the user > preferences, but am I right in thinking that if they log on from another > computer their settings won't be loaded?
