Hi, I make use of the LDAP transformer for authentification in my web application.
When I understood the documentation right then Authentification requires 2 steps: 1. get all necessary user data (username & password) from all users in LDAP 2. Compare the username/password provided with the login with all data sets retrieved from LDAP, if there is a match, the authenfification was successful. Is that right? Here's my problem then. I can retrieve both, username and password, but how can I compare the passwords. The password retrieved from LDAP is encrypted. So in order to compare them, I need to encrypt the password on Cocoon side with the same algoithm, right. Where do I get the encryption algorithm from? I guess that almost everybody who does authentication with LDAP must have had the problem, so how did you solve it? Please if there are any solution out there, post them, I guess, it could be very helpful for a lot of members (maybe it's worth a wiki contribution?).
