[ActiveDir] - reverse encryption of ad passwords

[Wilhelm, Brent]

Hey everybody,                           Our network engineer is pushing us to turn on reverse encryption at the root level so that he can stand up a third party radius server against it.             Everything that my guys (server guys) have found says not to do it unless you absolutely have to because it stores them in clear text.   Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">               So…  of course we don’t want to flip the switch.               Does anyone know anything else about reverse encryption that might be of interest?             Does anyone know anything other ways to allow a third party (Steel Belted Radius) to talk with the AD?   Thanks - Brent
