Hi,
Just to ensure what I understand at this moment. The cool feature like
"True Single Sign On" which automatically authenticate user after login
to Windows OS by Active Directory, is still not implemented for the
Unix-based OS authenticated using LDAP. Am I right? (I haven't tested it
yet, just read the sourcecode)

If it's so, is it hard to implement this feature und Unix-based OS?
In Windows OS, ESOE get logged-in user information from Windows-Session
and validate it against Active Directory.
As I know the Unix-based OSs use PAM to authenticate against LDAP but
I'm still have not quite sure how OS keep per LDAP logged-in user
information & how ESOE retrieves that user information, to validate it
against LDAP.

regards,
Nakkapat
