Hello Antonio,
many thanks for your answer! I'll try approach 2 first, this seems to be OK for the project. The mail addresses are no DNs by definition, but unique in our case.

Yes, you can user the LDAP transformer.

However, you may use two different approaches:

Approach 1: Do you already know the DN of the user trying to log in?
Yes: Use it as binding DN
No: You will need to first bind with a known user, get the DN for the user trying to log-in, transform that again into a LDAP query, and reissue the query with the right DN.

Approach 2: If you know the short name of the user (account name)@(domain name) in our case, you can use it as binding DN even if it is not a real DN. This is non-standard, and MS-AD specific, AFAIK, but it saves you some time.

    Hello,
    I'd need to authenticate in Cocoon against MS Active Directory.
    Are there any links/documents/WIKI entries w/ best practises
    available?
    Can I just use the LDAP transformer for that?

    Many thanks and best regards,
    Werner
