OK, thanks.

I'll check this carefully.

I obvioulsy lost compatibility with RT_SiteConfig parameters as I am  
using those from RT-Authen-ExternalAuth-0.08. Now you mention it, I  
should probably try both and leave warning messages.

Anything else should work as before. (eg: rtldapimport --update)

It did not when I pulled it prior to version 0.06 (19-Jun-2009).

I think I'd best backport the new code which seems more comprehensive  
than mine.

I can't see any conflict I have just extended "add_user_to_group"  
which does $group->AddMember($principal->Id);

I have also created a del_user_from_groups which does  
$group->DeleteMember($user_obj->Id);

OK.
