Re: Authentication Using ADAM ?

Dear Joe,

I am not asking for any list.
Just thaught that if you have so much authority over the subject in
discussion, you might as well have tried experimenting with ADAM & would be
able to tell me a couple of 3rd party app name those would use ADAM.
This would also help me experiment with ADAM.
I belive in gaining handson knowledge, & not just work with ADAM as a
standlone or mug up things without being able to implementing them.

Thanking You

Vicky

Dear Joe,

Could you give the names of few third party applications that would rely on
ADAM for authenticating users as well as store application data in 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
