The next thing is they want the password autopopulated too . . . I don't have even the slightest clue how to implement that. My whole problem is this: Management only wants a select few to have access to this company roster I'm trying to implement. So, would it be easier just to list the few people in the e.g. ldapquery.php file and then only have the plugin available for those users?
