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
