There are three types of binds that a LDAP server can be configured for: 1. anonymous - the tree is world readable, so no credentials are checked, and your search has all of the rights granted to "anonymous" 2. user bind - the user authenticates against the tree, and has rights granted based upon the users rights. (no anonymous reads usually). 3. unauthenticated - anonymous binding with user dn, but no password. 1 and 2 are the most prevalent. I don't have as much experience with Active Directory, so they may have extended these possibilities. speeves ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:314342 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
