Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm in the right place.  I am trying to authenticate my users against an ldap server (which resides in another part of the universe). 

I think what I need to do is take the username and password submitted from the DNN login, query the ldap server then bind the username and password together.  If an object gets returned then they entered the correct username and password according to the ldap server.  Next I want to see if that username has been registered with DNN and if so, log the person in.  Failure in any of the above fails the login.

Can I do this with DNN?  If so, how?

P.S.  I know virtually nothing about ldap or active directory and don't have admin access to the ldap server.

Thanks!

Are there any plans for an LDAP Provider?  Specifically...  I'd like to authenticate against the Sun One Directory Server (LDAP Server).

We plan to use DNN as a portal for our Cognos Dashboards.

If not currently, here is a vote for it! 

I vote for developing an LDAP Provider.
