Re: Authentication Using ADAM ?

Those service all require Windows or Domain authentication by default, ADAM provides ADAM authentication only which is useful inside of ADAM or for applications that don't need Windows auth (i.e. they just need a password authenticated, they don't need a security token usable outside of ADAM).

Anything where you can insert yourself into the auth process you have the ability to call out to ADAM to perform the auth. So for example, with IIS, you could use anonymous auth within the app but still ask for userid and password in a form and send those as an LDAP Req to ADAM. Alternatively you could use a subauthentication DLL that does something similar. Either way, that would kind of suck because LDAP is not an auth protocol, it is a data access protocol that just happens to have to support a form of auth so you can have relatively secure access to the data.

Hi All,

Just wish to know if i could use ADAM in a workgroup, instead of AD in a windows domain based network to have user authentication performed for windows services (running on win 2000/2003 server) such as RAS, VPN, IIS, CA, TS, Remote Desktop + many other windows services etc

Thanks

Vicky
