At the humongous web shop I work at I have been asked to make Sun Java 1.2 use Active Directory on a Windows 2K server as an LDAP server. This is proving to be difficult. My only hope thus far has been ->
JADSI (Java Active Directory Services Interface)
---> This should let Sun Java talk to Active Directory's Domain Controller. You can use LDAP to accomplish sign in to AD on Unix.
I have yet to have any success with it but have not given up yet. Please tell me if you have any success.
If you want to do this very badly, you can try using the C LDAP libraries that come with Netscape's Directory Server SDK (or from the LDAP UMich project) and write a C client that can speak LDAP to Active Directory. Again, I have done none of this but am presently trying to make the Java soloution work.
I am in a similar situation being forced to work using Microsoft garbage mislabled software. It happens in the consulting industry. Best of luck, wishing you all your future projects in Java on Linux.
