Let me say back to you what I think you've said; + It is possible for the ISC to authenticate ISC users against LDAP. Where is this documented? I am eager to use this feature. + The TSM admin application provided to be installed in the ISC does not currently heed ISC LDAP authentication; but it will, eventually. I'll want more details on this, but that will be a different PMR once I get LDAP working at all. But thanks for the heads-up. + It is a goal of TSM development to authenticate TSM administrators by making use of the ISC, eventually including LDAP. I want to be extra sure I understand this, because it means my TSM admin users might finally be able to use the same passwords they use everywhere else on campus, which would be fantastic. > If you wish, we can open an enchancement request to speed up that > decision. That would be delightful. Lest I be ambiguous: I consider this response to be dramatically better, more communicative, and more complete than the previous one, I am much happier with the prosecution of the PMR now. Thank you. I'm also actually pleased with the answer, which is icing on the cake for me. - Allen S. Rout
