Intranet website authentication using windows logon

Question

I\'m building an internal website in Perl and I would like to get it to use Windows credentials for authentication. My research so far has turned up a lot of keywords: Kerbe

Answer 1

Are your servers part of a Microsoft Active Directory?

• Active Directory is LDAP-compliant. Therefore, you can setup LDAP to authenticate your users

• Are you using Apache? If so, there is a module that allows you to authenticate to an Active Directory directory: mod_ auth_sspi

• Finally, Microsoft has created Active Directory Service Interfaces (ASDI) to solve these types of problems. There is a lot of information at MSDN. For example, this is how the open-source Hudson CI server authenticates to Active Directory.

I hope one of these suggestions help you.
