LDAP Authentication For TeamSite on Windows

sunil_j

Hi,

I wish to autheticate TeamSite users using a Directory Server (LDAP) and I have made the required changes in the iw.cfg file.

The authentication is working, but it needs a user account on the local operating system also along with the user information on the LDAP. On a solaris environment I can point my Solaris OS for an LDAP authentication by making LDAP as the primary naming Service. How to do the same under a Windows environment? How can I point my Win 2K Advance Server to use a LDAP server as the Primary authentication server and thus get myself free of creating local OS level user account?

Any help is highly appreciated !

Any NT shop that
uses a third party LDAP server for user authentication runs a
synchronization service. The "NT Synchronization Service"
that ships with the iPlanet/Netscape LDAP server is one
of the most widely used. Here's how it works:
