Automatically login using Active Directory credentials

[rmarescu]

Hello,

Is there any solution that I can take the AD credentials and to authenticate people using this information?

I saw this on IIS, but I don't know how it works, and also, if this works on Apache.

Thanks

You may be able to do it with Apache with a nonstandard authentication module (especially if running on Windows).

You can only do this if:

• They use MSIE
• They are on the same domain (or you have the same domain controller, or part of the same AD somehow)
• The web browser decides that that's a good thing to do (based on MSIE's credentials-passing rules, which to some extent depends on security zone)

As far as PHP's concerned, it should not matter as REMOTE_USER will be set up one way or another.

I believe apache has an LDAP module that you could use.
