I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to modify snitz to use AD to authenticate users against. The company I work at wants to integrate snitz authentication with their existing website where they are going to use Active Directory (needed because they are going to have sharepoint running there also). I think it should be possible, but there are quite a few maintainance problems I can see. Possible implementations that I can see are that you validate the user against AD and store a snitz user id in AD and check on login if that ID exist in the snitz db, and if not create a post with that ID for the forum variables. The second one is that you store all the snitz user data in AD and remove the need for the member table. I don't know how closely tied snitz is to the members table, and maybe it's better to try to find something that already has support for AD. The NT authentication only uses the computers users and not the AD that it has access to right? Thanks for any reply. Would be greatly appreciated. /Patrik< [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
