Windows Domain Authentication? #141

Open adrai opened 12 years ago

adrai commented 12 years ago

Will it be possible to authenticate against a windows domain / Active Directory?

bnoguchi commented 12 years ago

Can you please elaborate? I'm not familiar with Active Directory or what you mean by windows domain.

I know that in .Net there is a way to authenticate users against a windows domain (http://dotnet-snippets.de/dns/windows-passwort-ueberpruefen-uebersetzung-SID861.aspx)

But I think, that it works only on windows platforms... what if the client is on MacOs or a linux system? I think the better way to do this is implementing a platform independent c++ module that can be used from everywhere... I don't know exactly how and it's probably not so easy but here I've found a kerberos api: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
