Hi Pete, It is typical to authenticate against ADS by attempting to bind using the credentials provided by the user. This doesn't require any special configuration on the ADS or, generally, whatever you using to authenticate the credentials. Note that it is somewhat more difficult to extract credentials from ADS; for example, if you wanted to pull the credentials from the directory and compare them to those provided by the user. Hope this helps. josh. > -----Original Message----- > From: Discussion list for Shibboleth developments > [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Pete Lettin > Sent: 25 April 2008 09:55 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Shibboleth and Active Directory > > I am currently installing a test shibboleth server and would > like to know if there are any definitive guides/howtos for > authenticating against AD. > > I have searched this list and what I found was useful but I'm > still unsure. > > Most of what I found on the web refers to running the idp on > a Windows server, I'm using Debian Linux. > > Although I can't currently test it as I still need a > certificate.
