Excuse my ignorance (I just got crap on the #centos IRC channel for this question), but is there a (easy!) way to have and IRC and/or Jabber server relay a login to a Microsoft Active Directory server for authentication? If there's a better question to ask this question, please point me in that direction, and I'll be happy to do so Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The way you've posed the question, it has nothing to do with CentOS, so I am unsurprised you got crap for it on IRC.

This will point you to http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/10/06/jabberd.html?page=1 You might also have a look at the ejabberd website and check there for ldap/AD authentication info. See http://www.ejabberd.im/forum/7 The #centos channel is mostly for supporting the software shipped by centos, and/or installation problems. Questions of your sort will have a varied response based on channel mood, which is a bit bipolar to say the least. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
