Thanks for the fast replay! It is exactly what we were trying to do. I'm aware 
of the 2 options with LDAP... a direct binding to the LDAP with the provided 
login credentials, or using a second functional account which logs in and 
compares the login credentials with the one in the LDAP. Unfortunately our 
company does only allow the second case, even I would also prefer a direct 
binding...

Betreff: Re: [Geoserver-users] LDAP Authentification

Hi Thomas,
I don't think this is currently possible, but let me try to understand what you 
need: you are asking to use a fixed set of credentials to bind Geoserver to the 
LDAP proxy and then do some "search / lookup" on the ldap proxy with the real 
credentials to authenticate?
If this is not the case, can you try to explain exactly the authentication flow 
you need?

Hello,

we're trying to get Geoserver authentiate via an AD, but the problem is that we 
cannot contact the AD directly (Firewall). Our company has installed a so 
called LDAP proxy, which uses a second functional account looking up login 
credentials at a provided LDAP_AUTH_URL which is a DN to the user entries in 
the AD.
Now my question: Is there any way to use Geoserver with a second user instead 
of letting Geoserver directly bind to the LDAP with the user credentials?

Thanks for your help,
Thomas
