Active Directory
About
Active Directory essentially uses LDAP for authentication, but it also involves shared network resources, and may afford some unique integration approaches.
BU School of Management is using a .NET web service to query the AD and serve up authentication and authorization information for a Sakai consumer. We'd also be interested in developing ways to integrate Sakai with shared network resources.
Support in Sakai:
A modified version of the Sakai 2.3.1 LDAP provider for non-anonymous binding to Active Directory can be found here:
