I just have my 2003 Server to tinker around with. I host my own XOOPS 2.0 on IIS 6. My question is for the LDAP Authentication Hack 0.6 do I need openLDAP or what do I need to get started so that I can have my room mates log in to our XOOPS home page with their windows login name?

I've been looking around and am just so confused dont know what I need to do?

The LDAP Auth Hack works with : openldap, windows 2000, windows 2003 and all LDAP Server compliant.

If you have a windows 2003 that store your user account, you can use this Windows server to autheticate your XOOPS User.

Quote:

If you have WIndows Server 2003 : NO

This new version allows, not only to autheticate user on Windows AD, but also to automaticaly synchronised Windows User information to XOOPS Account (Xoops needs its MySQL database to be filled by user info).

To resume :

- You configure your authentication preferences in the XOOPS Admin panel with AD authentication
- You active the provisioning
- Enjoy !
