Hmm, I must've blinked when I read over this part. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks
-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Sample java LDAP plugin >From the config guide: AREA-LDAP-Bind-User: The distinguished name (DN) of the user account that the AREA LDAP plug-in uses to find the user object using the User Search filter. If the DN is not specified, the AREA LDAP plug-in uses an anonymous login to find the user object. If the target directory service does not allow anonymous access, you must specify a Distinguished Name and Password; otherwise, the plug-in cannot determine the distinguished name of the user. An example of this option is: AREA-LDAP-Bind-User: ldapesslab\admin Looks to me that if you leave this null, you may be able to meet your security requirements. The sample area plug-in code looks to do what you want. Axton Grams On 9/21/07, Davies, J.T. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Possibility.
