LDAP Authentication

Hey guys! I'm trying to use LDAP authentication on my site. I've found plugins for it by Matt Pierce (https://forums.modx.com/index.php?topic=44833.0) and by Shawn McCormick (http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/modActiveDirectory). I'm wondering which I should use and how to implement it. I've never used Active Directory before so any advice or links to tutorials would be great.
Thanks!

I'd go with the one listed in rtfm, as it appears to be more recent. You'll need to have access to an LDAP server, of course. How that server is configured is beyond the scope of a MODx client. [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 14 years, 1 month ago.]

That makes sense. I'll do that. It says it will automatically work after I specific the domain controllers and account suffix which I'm still trying to get from our ITS department. So once that's done, anyone in the LDAP server will be able to log in with their domain credentials, yes?

One would hope so, at any rate. I've never done it, but that's what it looks like.

FYI for anyone looking, it's not that simple. I sat down with the guys in IT that manage our Exchange server and we couldn't get this plugin to work at all. LDAP authentication is a requirement for this project so I guess we're gonna have to roll our own. Hopefully we can release it as a package once we're done.
