Dear All, I would like to build a system where the FDS authentication is delegated to Active Directory. I do not want the password to be stored in FDS or Synced using PassSync.msi. I am asking the community if anyone has come this way? I am trying to put together the pieces of this puzzle with PAM, Pass-through Authentication, Winbind, Windows ADAM and ADFS, Samba etc. I would like to get some comments and see if this can be achieved without modifying the code.(As Rich mentioned: ³what type of PAM stack to use to authenticate to AD²) Anyone interested in working along me or correct me at stages of implementation? Note: I have couple of posts in today¹s thread with feedback from Rich Megginson and Nathan Kinder. This post is to seek problems someone might have faced and work together. Thanks Prashanth
