Set up the LDAP in the CFA as a new user Directory. You will need to point
it to the LDAP server (via IP or Domain Name). You will need an account
with sufficient privileges, search root, Lookup start, and the lookup end.
You can then set a context to use the cfauthenticate tag. This can be time
consuming but once done works rather well.
Depending on your access to the LDAP server schema, you can also utilize the
CFLDAP tag to authenticate as well as query for information on the server.

um...you did post to the list. :)
ldap is a different animal. i've never really used it for authentication,
besides Win2K's ACLs being LDAP-compliant.
you're probably going to want to look into Advanced Security. it can use an
LDAP database for suthentication. of course, it's a BEAST to setup.

Chris,
Sorry to respond to you this way. I subscribed to this list only today. I
am looking for help on authenticating
users against an ldap directory but have not quite gotten there yet and I
cannot see how to post to the list. Any
pointers on how to post to the list would be appreciated. Then I will be
more descriptive in my question.
Thanks,
Jerre
