RE: [ActiveDir] SHAREPOINT AND EXTERNAL LDAP

[Peter Johnson]

You might consider creating an ADAM instance which is a copy of their LDAP source and authenticate against it. But I fully agree with you that the better way is allow passwords to expire.  If you set up the IIS password changing extension on the server you might be able to integrate it in such a way that they can change their passwords against it. I’m assuming that certificate based authentication is out of the question?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ramon Linan Sent: 19 September 2006 17:45 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] SHAREPOINT AND EXTERNAL LDAP   HI,   I have a SharePoint site for a client, it is driving me crazy because the sales people are telling me that the users for this site, cant have their password expiring. The client is a government agency, so I don't want to be responsible for any information being stolen.   How big of a security risk is not having password expiring? it seems  to me like security 101, but the sales guy is saying that banks don't ask you to change your password every X day, good point.     Something I was thinking is having SharePoint authenticating with their LDAP server, is this possible to do? can anybody point to a url on how to do this?   thanks   Rezuma Disclaimer: The Development Bank of Southern Africa exercises no control over information contained in any e-mail message originating from within the organisation.
