Hi All, I'm looking for an example of LDAP (AD) authentication from ABL for Windows clients. I saw examples in the documentation (all very confusing and unclear) and examples from Michael Jacobs, the last do not work on the 11.x version because of Crypto.r and I have not found the source code for Crypto.p. Somebody has the source code of this program or r-code for 11.5/11.6/11.7? I have the task from the customer: There is a Windows OS in which there is a user named UserA with a password of 12345. There is a RDBMS in which there is a user Sysadm with a password of 67890. UserA's password checks by Windows, Sysadm's password checks by RDBMS (_user). They want to make it so that the user UserA with the password 12345 appears in the RDBMS, but that this password is checked not by the RDBMS, but by Windows. That is, changing the password in Windows from 12345 to 54321 for UserA, and he would be able to connect to RDBMS with a new password. I think that this requires application authentication through Active Directory + using CLIENT-PRINCIPAL + OpenEdge Database domains. I also look towards .NET DirectoryServices. Ideally, I need a ready-made example with a connection to the Sports2000 database (on Windows) something with a user interface and the ability to configure LDAP from ABL forms by DBA. Thank you for any help! P.S. I need it for demonstration that in OpenEdge it is possible, since Customer's managers is sure that OpenEdge only has an primitive authentication mechanism in RDBMS through the _user table.
