Sorry, you are confusing me. A Windows Domain Controller in my mind is what holds the SAM database, which contains the user data, so in this scenario no. However, you could authenticate a windows client machine against an LDAP backend, via your radius server, thus eliminating the need for your Windows Domain Controller in the authentication process. > I am not actually asking this question for Domain > Controllers which I personally run, but for clients who might have these > things and I would like to be able to authenticate these windows > machines via our radius server. Ignore the above then. Honestly, if you are running NT4, the IAS (microsofts radius server) product is a good solution, as it talks natively to your SAM database. All you need to do then is proxy these clients through your radius server to the IAS server and bobs your uncle. > > Am I right in thinking that LDAP would work? Yes.
