Hi - first post, newbie alert, etc.
I've taken over running a forum which has around 5000 members. Now, we've got an online shop (which isn't quite live yet) running on OSCommerce and I'm just in the process of putting Joomla! on the site.

Now, I know LDAP from work, but there's a wondering I've got about how this works.

Firstly, if I install this mod on a clean LDAP database, how can I import the 5000 usernames from the vBulletin installation?

Would I be correct in assuming that when a user logs in to the forum, the LDAP would be checked, then report no such user. Then vB would be queried and report a success - with the LDAP then taking in the information from vB.

... or have I got this completely wrong. If so, any pointers on how to get the users in the LDAP DB?

Thanks in advance!
