Re: using xp credentials for ldap authentication

P.S: would be there a solution / workaround if the server would be running on
windows server ?

Ok, so what you want to do is pass something other than the plaintext
password into this method and have the server use that data to authenticate
against AD? The answer is no, especially if you plan to use LDAP as the
authentication mechanism. All the supported LDAP auth mechanisms require
plaintext creds.

What you really want is what Brian Komar suggested (Kerberos), but it would
need to be modified to support that.

There is an API using own authetication. Written in java or .NET
(depending
on wich operating system the server runs). The product is MobiLink Server:

"Create a class called MobiLinkAuth using Java or .NET.

The MobiLinkAuth class includes the authenticateUser method used for the
authenticate_user synchronization event. The authenticate_user event
provides
parameters for the user and password. You return the authentication result
in
the authentication_status inout parameter."

import ianywhere.ml.script.*;

public class MobiLinkAuth
{

public void authenticateUser (
ianywhere.ml.script.InOutInteger authentication_status,
String user,
String pwd,
String newPwd )
{
// to do...

}

}

Scenario:

the windows xp user has autheticated againts a nt-domain (active
diectory)
with credentials xpuser / xppassword. a java application running on
this
xp
box will access a server application located on unix. this server wants
authenticate the xpuser againts active directory.

Question:
is it possible to use the xppasword (cached in hash form in the
registry)
for that authenticateion ? If not is there any other way to avoid
requiring
to type the password (xppasword) by xpuser ?
