Is there any way to utilize LDAP to authenticate extra admins to individual virtual servers?
Our situation is that we have an external source for all users and passwords that we would like to integrate with Virutalmin so we can add (through the interface) Extra Admins to individual Virtual Servers and have them leverage the existing credentials they have. This would also enable us to offer individual SSH/SCP connections to Virtual Servers instead of leveraging shared credentials.
If there is not an out of the box way, is this functionality we can develop for inclusion in the product?
Thanks!

Webmin/Virtualmin can be configured to store users and permissions in LDAP, using a custom schema. To enable this, go to Webmin -> Webmin Users -> User and Group Database. Once this is activated, any new users will be added to LDAP (by default), and both the local files and LDAP will be read to get users and permissions.
This doesn't apply to SSH logins though - if you want those in LDAP, you'd need to setup NSS-LDAP and PAM-LDAP on your system.

Jamie,
I am closing this issue as the Identity Management issue encompassed this as well.
Thanks,
