Authenticate against active directory
Hi all, I just joined the list yesterday so if this has been covered let me know and I'll look in the archives. My company has commissioned me with constructing an intranet and as we already have a user/group database in MS Active Directory, the platform we choose should be able to authenticate against that. I would like to use Zope instead of some prepackaged MS compatible product. I've tried several different methods including exUserFolder, LDAPUserFolder and jcNTUserFolder. I have been able to populate an acl_users folder with users from my local Windows machine. But I need Active Directory. I've heard that it should be possible but I've never heard of anyone actually doing it. Has anyone successfully authenticated users against an AD system? If so, HOW?? Thanks for the help, Jacob Behm,
