¤ I guess a better to put it this is there a way I can authenticate against an
¤ ActiveDirectory using LDAP via LDAP's credentials vs using Microsoft's
¤ credentials.
¤
¤ For example, if I am running some LDAP server under Linux and I want to
¤ authenticate against it, I would need to include some sort of credentials
¤ (ones that have nothing to do with ActiveDirectory).
¤
¤ Since ActiveDirectory supports LDAP, can this be done under a Windows
¤ environment? Since in other words, what would have to happen to allow me to
¤ authenticate against ACtiveDirectory? I would have to open up all these
¤ ports and then expose my domain publicly to the Internet (vs. just having an
¤ LDAP interface exposed)?

You can authenticate with the Windows domain but I don't know how you would automatically
authenticate with the Linux server unless you have some kind of integrated authentication or trust
between the domains.
