<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>Presently,
we have Active Directory(AD) installed in our machines and the logging into
these machines is after authentication from the Active Directory databases.
Also our RT system is running on linux platform. Our machines are on Windows
platform.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>The
login to RT system is authenticated through the "Users"
table. Instead of doing this , we would like to carry the authentication from
the AD and got to know about the LDAP overlay code.</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>The
problem right now is since AD is window based, could the contributed code still
be used to authenticate users because when i did some research i found out that
OpenLDAP server is the preferred system for Linux platforms.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>It
will be of great help if anyone could suggest any other solution to go past
this problem </span></font><br>
