Frank,

Yes, my patch no longer supports 1.3. If you could add it to the CVS version, that would be good. Also, it would be nice if it was either in a comment to 814, or linked to from there.

Thanks,

Ryan,

Thanks for replying.

This sounds like a good thing to possibly integrate with my LDAP patch (http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=814). Many organizations are going to smart cards, and use LDAP for authentication. Thomas and I are working on integrating his email notification with my LDAP patch, maybe I'll be able to integrate this as well.

Sure, why not? How should I proceed? Shall I e-mail you a patch and some notes on what I've done, and you can quickly give me your opinion on the approach, or shall I go ahead and add them as a comment to bug 814, which might seem somewhat tangential to anyone reading it who doesn't see this exchange? I note that the bug includes patches for a version I'm not currently using (my patch is against 1.3.9) -- I'm happy to move to the latest CVS version on a dev box and redo it, if User.php is a lot different since 1.3.9. Let me know, so I don't clutter up the bug commentary; thanks.

[I presume just posting stuff on this list would be overly noisy for others, so I won't follow up more here. Anyone else interested in the details of what I've done should just ping me directly.] -- Frank Wales [frank@limov.com]
