Re: ADAM and IIS auth



Thanks Joe. I'll let you know if we need the role provider - hopefully not.
:)

I like the ADFS idea, it's fancy but as you say, it would be overly complex.

Writing a role provider for ADAM isn't hard. My co-author and I have an
experimental one we've been giving out to people who ask for it. I could
share it if you are interested.

Still, if you really want to do Windows basic auth and use domain
accounts, that's a pretty easy path to take.

The other super fancy approach is to use the ADFS/web single sign on with
MOSS 2007. That gives you the ability to integrate AD and ADAM in a
variety of different and very flexible ways. It is also by far the most
complex approach though.

Thanks a bunch Lee!

Yes, it's true that you can use membership providers. However for RBAC in
.NET 2 / MOSS you need a Role provider as well, and Microsoft doesn't
provide one for ADAM. So at this time, I think sticking with AD is the
best option.

Hi

it's true that there are currently no hooks for IIS to do authentication
against
ADAM in the fashion of Windows Intgerated Authentication against a
domain.

However I believe that the authentication provider model for MOSS 2007
is
more flexible as it is built on ASP.NET 2.0 and so can leverage forms
based
auth. I assume this is what the MOSS 2007 LDAP V3 membership provider
uses, see the documentation around:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/23b837d1-15d9-4621-aa0b-9ce3f1c7153e1033.mspxI
do not have any hard experience to offer on this yet as I'm just
gettiongstarted onMOSS 2007 but googling around there seem to be a
number of folks that haveLDAP auth working. Most seem to be testing
against AD over LDAP so ADAMshould be good too, see comments section of
e.g.:http://www.sharepointblogs.com/helloitsliam/archive/2006/08/15/10027.aspxLee
