I do not know of a way to make NDS your repository for Advanced Security.
The only way that I could see this working would be if you installed the
Netscape Directory Server and got it working with Advanced Security and then
export the schema to NDS. This may mean a complete rebuild of your NDS
schema and I'm not sure that you can even import such a schema into NDS
properly. By looking at the export schema you may be able to integrate the
required fields into NDS and get around a full export/import. On the other
hand, you can use CFLDAP to query an NDS directory. This is NOT the same as
using CFAUTHENTICATE, see below. You'll have to make sure that the NDS/LDAP
interface is enabled. If it is, it should be listening on the standard LDAP
port(s).

Subject: RE: CFLDAP and SSL connections to LDAP server?
I too have a ticket open with Allaire about this, and they said the same
thing, that I need Netscape Directory Service. But I am using Novell. Are
you saying that I can authenticate using Novell....that would rule. I tried
setting in up in Advanced Security...but it couldn't see my directory....ANy
suggestions........

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.
