Clement,

Im not sure I understand this process - how is this differnet to HTTP
basic authentication?

IE: When HTTP basic authentication is used, the webserver/browser
authenticate, and once they have done that, PLA picks up the user
name/dn from the PHP_AUTH_USER variable, and the password from
PHP_AUTH_PW variable - and uses that for all subsequent LDAP operations.

Do you have a sample PHP implementation that I can take a look at?
