One of our goals in LedgerSMB is to have a plugable authentication scheme and probalby support LDAP and Kerberos (HTTP Basic Auth would be fairly simple too). It requires a bit of re-wireing, but not too much. Once we have it rolled out, anyone working on SL is more than welcome to re-use the code. I suspect in the early days of the fork, moving code from LedgerSMB to SL will be fairly easy, but will get harder as the projects diverge. We will try to provide an easy migration path from SL to LedgerSMB for as long as we can. Cheers, Chris |
