You don't have to do an LDAP query first.... You can bind in LDAP with domain\user, UPN, or DN and just ask for a well known object, say the domain head or config head, etc.
I still think either one is a poor authentication mechanism though. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Isenhour, Joseph Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 6:46 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] WinNT ADSI provider Not having to do an LDAP query prior to connecting to the user. So they will not have to store a lookup account and baseDN type info. I think that adding the LDAP features is pretty simple, but I don't want to make them do it if it's not necessary. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 2:16 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] WinNT ADSI provider What simplicity will this offer?
