Hi, We are comparing automatic authentication procedures with Active Directory and Apache Directory Server. With Active Directory; Automatic authentication is simple; you define a user with a "logonname" and use this logonname and a password for the bind procedure, which ends up successful if these two values match with the values stored in the server. With Apache Directory Server; You have to use the users full Distinguished Name (DN) and a password for the bind procedure. since the user at the client machine cannot know his/her DN during the logon procedure, he/she enters a username and a password. The JNDI bind code at the client machine first authenticates as admininstrator to the server, searches for the user entry using the username as a filter, if the user exists the DN is drawn to the client and used in the bind procedure with the password the user entered before. This is a workaround we have to use for automatic authentication. Is there a way to authenticate automatically to Apache Directory Server directly with a logonname and a password just like it is with Active Directory without having to use DN for authentication? Tolga. ###################################################################### Dikkat:
