Ok, I've has a few people wanting to know how I authenticated to our
Active Directory here.
Well, I simply used the mod_ntlm module for apache.
You can find it here http://modntlm.sourceforge.net
It is very useful.

Yep. Good answer, and one employed here for PHB viewing of the
CGIs. In
this case, I wanted contacts to _not_ be notified, so the answer
of
others to use either
- contact_period none
- contact_options n
were the best choices for me.
You may want to consider contributing
. this answer
. how you do AD authentication - this ability of Nag to offload
auth to
another facility (Domain, Directory, PAM-something) is a big Nag
win in
my view (we use LDAP auth here against an iPlanet directory)
as a Nag FAQ.
Thanks very much for the encouraging and helpful reply.
Yours sincerely.
