Authenticating with OpenLDAP

Hi.

I have a wierd question. Can someone tell me, is there any way of tell who
is currently authenticated with openLDAP, or can openLDAP inform another
program when authentication takes place.

What I want to do is when a user authenticated with openldap, they are also
authenticated with other network services.

Also, when does the user become un-authenticated.

Thanks in advance.

Openldap (and LDAP in general) does not maintain authentication state,
so there doesn't exist the concept of a user becoming
"un-authenticated".

You haven't specified how the user gets "authenticated with
openldap". In general, users "get authenticated with" the systems that
they interact with, and none of them are openldap (i.e., basic auth for
HTTP, unix logins, etc.). Those systems may use openldap for their
credentials directory, but that is not the same as "authenticating with
openldap".

What you're asking for doesn't make any sense.
