Hey guys, this one is out there for the PS gurus. I've created a script that reads from a CSV (or other dataset, but not posting that side) and creates users in my AD environment. Basically, whatever dataset is passed into the script will be processed, and then a user will be created if they do not exist. If the user exists in the AD al...
The title may seem a little weird but what I find around the internet is methods to sign on to stuff automatically with windows domain authentication (Single Sign On), but that is not what I want. In my use case I want to explicitly ask the person to enter their windows domain user/password combination to make sure that the person perfo...
Hi, I've written a web applciation for a client in which authentication/authorization is done by spring security based on the 'internal' database. Now, the client has asked to switch to using their Active Directory instead. I'm a green as can be where LDAP is concerned but looking at the sample code and such it doesn't seem too difficul...
Our developers use Java on Linux for various things (like checking membership of groups etc). It works - no problem with that! I'm not a developer so bare with me. The problem is that they have hardcoded the servernames of our Domain Controllers (LDAP-servers) in their code. So now when we need to replace them with newer DCs, they need ...

I'm still trying to find a Java based solution for SSO (running on *nix), which I can use on JBoss to authorize against an Active Directory/domain controller. I initially tried to do this via NTLM, but gave up because it will be not supported on Windows Server >= 2008. Therefore I'm trying to implement this using Kerberos, but it seems ...
I'm considering moving from Apache to Lighttpd for an internal web application, written with python. The problem is that I'm relying on libapache2-mod-auth-ntlm-winbind ... which doesn't actually seem to be a well support & updated package (though that could be because it really does work well). I'm looking for suggestions and hints ab...

First off I have written some POJO programs that can successfully connect to my AD and authenticate against the users and groups I have setup. So I am confident that the usernames, passwords, and groups I'm ...

A system I have come across, that uses active directory, and has disk quotas, does not have the quotas tranparent to the user. All the users displays in windows (my computer etc.) and calls to GetDiskFreeSpaceEx always return the free space of the volume, and yet the user can never fill this free space because of the quotas. I have not b...
Hello. I am connecting to a Microsoft Active Directory server in a DMZ from my .net application (asp.net VB .net 4.0). I need to create a new "inetorgperson" in an orgunit called "SingleCustomerAccount".

I am trying to authenticate users on my site with their LDAP credentials. However the bind to the active directory seems to require my credentials first before I can authenticate any other username/passwords. I don't want to hardcode my credentials in the application.
