(RADIATOR) authbyLDAP with Active Directory

[Larry Prikockis]

Hi... 
I've gotten Radiator to work well using authByADSI on a Win2k box (thanks to
some hints from Hugh and others on this list :-) but we'd really like to run
it on a linux box.  In theory, I should be able to use AuthByLDAP for this,
right?

I've set up AuthDN and AuthPassword so that Radiator can authenticate
properly, and it seems that the parameters I'm using for BaseDN and
UsernameAttr are correct, as it's finding the user record in the Active
Directory.

However-- I'm using the ServerChecksPassword option (seems to make the most
sense) and apparently, something is going haywire at this point.
Authentication fails with a "bad encrypted password" message.

Any idea on what might be happening?  Is this perhaps a bug with the
ServerChecksPassword code?  Is anyone else using AuthbyLDAP to authenticate
against an active directory server?

all hints appreciated...
thanks!

All parts should go together without forcing.  You must remember that the
parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.  Therefore, if you
can't get them together again, there must be a reason.  By all means, do not
use a hammer.
