Geeat...glad I could be of help. Nothing in IIS does LDAP authentication
directly. You of course whip out the C++ and do an ISAPI filter or something to
do it.
Otherwise, in Java you can attempt to bind to your directory using the user
supplied uid/password combo. If you succeed great they are authenticated, if
the bind fails, they gave you inproper credentials.
You can use any LDAP package (JNDI, Mozilla Java SDK, etc) to do this kind of
work. I know that the Mozilla SDK includes a prewritten bean that does this
kind of authentication for you.
Note that this assumes that you are storing user ids and passwords in the
directory.

Mark--
Thanks for the rundown on auth against NT. How about the same
high-level map for JRun on Linux authenticating against LDAP (say,
Netscape).
TIA
Martin
And PS--Anyone know of an existing self-reg component where a new user
chooses a password and it's e-mailed to him?
