Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/LDAP for retrieval of user info, not for authentication?

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to use this extension for syncing user information (e.g., real name) without depending on its authentication features. I am currently using the CASAuthentication extension for login authentication, so I do not need LDAP for that purpose. However, I would be thrilled to pull in user realnames via LDAP. Can this extension accomplish this, or is authentication not optional?

Thank you,
