Hi,

I have a potential client that uses Active Directory. I would like to know how LDAP integration module from Drupal and Active Directory go together.

This is more a "sense" of the situation question. While I have seen discussions (recent and older ones) taking about successes and frustration with AD I really can come to a conclusion.

In general:

AD+Drupal?
(a) Easy?
(b) Buggy but doable
(c) Don't even try?
(d) *** some other take **

An answer, even if very long would really help.

Thanks,

Sidharth

I'm using this module to connect to a Windows 2003 AD server. It works great for authentication and role assignment. Users login and are authenticated with AD, they have a new user account created in Drupal. I've set it up to map 'memberOf' property of AD to the Drupal Role so I can assign special permissions to users based on that attribute.

I also am pulling in some profile data such as mobile/business phone and office location and display that on the Drupal profile page.

Over all its working good for me without a problem.

I'm not sure what the status of a true 1.0 release is, Seems usable, although I don't use all the feature of this module.
