NTLM SSO removes Windows users on a PC, which is a member of a Windows
domain and who are logged into that domain, from the need to explicitly log
into eGW. They simply point IE to the eGW URL (eg. http://domain.com/egroupware/)
and start working. They can of cause explicitly log out and log in as an
other user.
For more information look at the README at

2. different authentication for SyncML and/or GroupDAV
You can now use eg. an external auth provider for the login via the
WebGUI (eg. ADS) and the passwords stored in SQL for SyncML.
- new cleaner AND documented interfaces
- old interfaces are still availible, but depricated
- LDAP backend stores now membership information in LDAP too, and does NO longer require the phpgwAccount schema
- LDAP backend deals now well with LDAP schema in which posixGroup is no structural object (eg. newer SuSE distros)
- password from users are done now binded as that user, so if you dont need/use our admin to manage accounts, you can give a root-dn which only allows to search&read accounts
- phpgw_accounts --> egw_accounts
- phpgw_acl --> egw_acl
- phpgw_log(_msg) --> egw_log(_msg)
- phpgw_config --> egw_config
- phpgw_applications --> egw_applications
This requires code-changes in many apps. Quite often I was able to replace the db access, with calls to the appropreate classes.
