CFLDAP is used to work with information stored in an existing directory of
known schema. No one that I know of is using CFLDAP in place of
CFAUTHENTICATE when using Advanced Security. I have worked with Novell/NDS
using CF/CFLDAP and it works fine. While I'm not an NDS pro my understanding
is that NDS does not store information in a standard LDAP schema. Instead it
provides an LDAP interface which will accept queries in LDAP format. If this
is true then I can understand why you wouldn't be able to point CF's
Advanced Security to an NDS server without a good deal of work. CFLDAP is a
generic LDAP client while Advanced Security/CFAUTHENTICATE is a
authentication mechanism that can, but doesn't have to, use an LDAP
directory.

Subject: Re: CFLDAP and SSL connections to LDAP server?
You are very correct the documentation on how to use LDAP with CF is not
there. ITs a joke. I am curious though, how did you get people to
authenticate using the cfldap tag and not having set up a user directory,
security context then us cfauthenticate??? I am working on doing this for my
site. I keep hitting the damm wall. I have a ticket opened with allaire
and they don't know anything about this. What directory are you using.
Novell, Microsoft, Netscape??? I am using Novell's Directory Service but
they(allaire) said to do things you need Netscapes (which I doubt, but oh
well). Sorry going back to your question I know that if you use the
advanced security and set up your directory and context you have the ability
to tell CF to use a SSL connection (I don't know what it does).
It seems there are very few people who are working or have worked with this.
Its almost like we need to set up a group email list just for the people for
ldap related crap........
There are a few KB articles about setting up the user directory and Security
context and what to do.
Thats about that.....
