Re: Can OpenLDAP get password from AD

How about using ldapsearch with binddn and bindpw set with the user credentials and do a search for that user.

If an incorrect password is supplied, you won't/shouldn't get a valid reply.

Hi,

I am building a solution for web-based application authentication using OpenLDAP as a backend data source. But, in my case, OpenLDAP acts as a proxy and all user information are stored on AD servers. I can get some field from AD to OpenLDAP, but it is not enough for my apps to authentication user because OpenLDAP can’t get password field from ADs. So, can OpenLDAP have other solutions to solve my problem?

Thanks and Best regards,
