[ZendTo] Re: Fallback Authenticator

[Julian Field]

Why can this site not just have a tree branch of ZendTo guests in their AD, instead of implementing the users somewhere totally different? It makes far more sense to me to keep all the users in 1 place (AD) rather than having a few users implemented somewhere totally different. Just because they are in AD doesn't mean they are forced to have any other rights such as workstation login rights.

So until someone convinces me they can't just be put in another AD branch (and ZendTo already allows checking against multiple AD branches), I am going to say "no" to this, as it's unnecessary.

Sorry.

They wish to allow third party access to the ZendTo system but not have to set them up within their AD infrastructure. Any ideas of how this could be achieved ? Have taken a look at the code and the only way I can see to do it would be to effectively duplicate the NSSauthenticator function.
