How to use WSS v3 with ADAM for user authentication(blogs.pointbridge.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 2 months ago

One of the powerful new features of Windows SharePoint Services v3 (and MOSS, as by extension) is its ability to use authentication providers other than Active Directory. Because it's built on .NET 2.0, it can take advantage of the provider model for membership. ... One possible membership database is Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM). ADAM allows for an application to take advantage of the user-management features of AD without all of its overhead (no DC required, etc.). It exposes its information via LDAP, and runs as a service on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP.
