ADAM can contain ADAM users and they can be authenticated. Additionally,
ADAM can authenticate Windows users via proxy authentication. So that
situation would work for what you are trying to do.

It sounds like it might be a good fit unless your application requires
Windows users (for Windows security, with tokens and such), in which case
ADAM won't work.

to AD users?
