Currently we have a workaround for this at our enterprise pilot project. It is a twist, not quite pretty, but works. It goes like this:
1. The comment authentication form is modified to provide a "username" and "password" field. And in addition, a checkbox. 2. When the checkbox is clicked (we call it approval for authenticating commenter), the onclick calls a custom javascript code to append "username" to the "name" field of the comment form. (added parenthesis to avoid ambiguity) 3. When the commenter clicks on "post". The comment form is submitted to the comment authenticator. 4. The authenticator then authenticates the "username" and "password" against enterprise LDAP. 5. Then the authenticator is looking for the "username" string in "name" field. 6. If that is found, the post is successful. This way, the "username" that identifies the person in an organization is recorded in Roller. The possibility of anonymous comments and spam is removed. However, since we do not populate everybody in Roller, it is impractical to authenticate the commenters against Roller's user database. If I know Acegi better (which I don't), I would define an Acegi authenticator there, and calls that authenticator, but in my case, I hardcoded LDAP calls into comment authenticator. Maybe somebody can figure out the right way of doing this... Steve -----Original Message----- From: Alexandre B.

It's working for Wordpress, it might be a good idea to implement it into Roller. Allowing registration to post comment might also be a good way to avoid spam comments, and make sure of the identity of a poster, Best regards, Alexandre B.
