Authenticate Operators via LDAP <> AD

[RvanLeeuwen]

Possibility to set per Operator to authenticate via LDAP to query the password correctness into the Active Directory of the Domain.
Pro = Remember only 1 password for the engineer
Use for RCC or for WebService. Hope to see this feature in the future.

Is it possible to let the HM process make the LDAP request. The process is handling all the test already to the domain members etc.
RCC or WebService can use the HM server as a kind of broker for the request. ???
I understand your difficulties making the request "from the "outside"locations.
BTW it's just a thought and already tried by development.
Hope to hear from you if helpfull or not.

LDAP request - no problem, Authentication - no problem.
But its not enough - we need encryption without sending password over network. Currently this works just fine using our own code.

If we implement authentication using Windows API (without knowing user password) then we must implement encryption using Windows API as well.
But we cannot make Windows encryption API work correctly on Windows 2008/2012, it does not work and we could not find the reason (yet).
(btw: that's why we always prefer our own code - we know how it works and we can fix it but we cannot fix Windows).
