LDAP Integration and Password Authentification

Hi,

I have got a Connect Enterprise Server up and running. Now I configured the LDAP Connection to import the User and Groups from our Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Services. Now after this import the imported useraccounts don't have an initial password.

It looks like there are three ways to go on with the password authentification which is explained in the install guide.

1. Do nothing, means I set up a Authentification Proxy to do the user/password check for a Single-Sign-On
2. send an email to all users to change/set their password
3. set the password to an existing LDAP field value

It seems to me that it is not possible to check the password "realtime" (live at the login) against the real LDAP password without setting up a proxy or any other authentification instance. Or is this wrong? I don't need a Single-Sign-On, I just wan't the Users Windows Password to be also their Adobe Connect Password.

We are using another software in our company which exactly do this. You can also import the user account (external users) so you must not create it manualy. Now, when you login, the software check if your useraccount exists in the LDAP, and when this check is true the password will be chekced too. Otherwise the useraccount will be checked against the user and password entries in the local database (internal users). If these checks fail the user is a guest or the login will be rejected.

Is it possible to configure the Adobe Connect Server as well?

Thx

LDAP user authentication has been a built-in feature of Adobe Connect since version 7 (Connect Pro 7), no longer requiring the installation of a separate component (BSA). From the administration console (under "Directory Settings"), Administrators can configure their on-premise deployment of Connect 7 (and greater version) to authenticate users against their LDAP directory.

Instructions can be found in the administation guide for Adobe Connect (p.37-44).

A tutorial posted on our ConnectUsers community website provides further details about the integration between Connect and LDAP directories.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hola Antonio,

Puedes contarme por favor si ¿ya resolviste el tema de que los usuarios puedan logearse usando el nombre de usuario y contraseña que se encuentran en el directorio activo y no usando una contraseña adicional?, me cuentas tambien por favor ¿que version de Connect estas usando?

Te agradezco mucho que me cuentes como lo hiciste en caso tal de que ya lo hayas resuelto, yo no soy en experto y estoy algo atrancado con este "detalle".

Muchas gracias.
