Look, I am not trying to bash anyone here so don't take my responses the
wrong way, all I am saying is that the way he is trying to use Ldap is all
good and fine, but Ipswitch never created it to work like this e.g, there
is no button you can click on in I admin that says 'Integrate with ASP
page" so if you have problems with because you are trying to do something
like this then you need to stop blaming the wrong people and start figuring
it out on your own because essentially you are on your own when you try
something like that unless anybody has any good suggestions on helping him
out.. good luck man seems like a good idea anyhow.. :)
