Hi Jeffrey, Firstly regarding eDirectory support, this refers to using the LDAP server as a SiteMinder user directory, accessing the server via cfldap should be ok. Take a look at the ten tags that use cfldap in system\tier0\security - the actions, attributes and dn used for all the calls to LDAP are there to examine. With a working knowledge of your Novell LDAP server schema you may be able to adjust these arguments to get it working - main problem is that even if you fix these tags SiteMinder is not authenticating based on group membership - perhaps as a workaround you could look up the groups for an authenticated user using cfldap and implement your own group-based security. Let us know how you go. Cheers, Robin Hilliard Senior Product Support Engineer - Asia Pacific Macromedia, Inc.
