Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Sympa already provides authentication plugins for LDAP, CAS, Shibboleth. 
When using Single Sign-On systems like Shibboleth or CAS, Sympa expects 
that an Apache authentication module is setup in front of the CGI and 
that this authentication module sets an HTTP header field (REMOTE_USER 
being the standard one) containing the user login or email address.

Does LemonLDAP provide such an Apache module ?
