Howard,
Fair comments - the package was basically wrapped up from an internal packa= ge used in HP (which indeed has internal processes to map ED accounts to th= eir equivalent AD DNs). The desire was to donate the package rather than se= e it live only in HP - at least someone might find a use for it. Clearly yo= u think that the friction of installation limits its utility - and that's a= perfectly fine observation.
A lot of the "mapping" name stuff was legacy from when there was a lot more= functionality in the package, since it did NTLM authentication as well, to= a multitude of NT4 domain controllers. In that world, there really was a m= apping, but that's not true in the simplified world of Adauth.
In light of the comments, it's probably better to drop the package in its e= ntirety until I have time to address the structural issues highlighted.
Cheers,
Neil
