And that one is highly recommended.

If you want to backport it, you might have to fix some of
the ldap auth 
code as (IIRC) i did some changes to auth processing.

So just upgrading to 1.5.4 is the easier and better path
(and you also 
get some bugfixes at other places, too).

Actually in our website we already have a login for the
users.we dont want
the users to login more than once.So is there any way to use
the session
of our login for moinmoin instead of using the login of
moinmoin?If there
is any please help on this.

You can just write an auth function like you see them in 
MoinMoin/auth.py. Try to use the latest moin for best code
(1.5.4).

There is a configuration variable show_login (or similar) to
show (or 
rather not show) the MoinMoin login/logout links.
