I have LDAP authentication against Active Directory working perfectly in Firefox, but my problem is with IE. IE automatically passes through the username and password so once you are logged into the domain, you don't have to type it in again.
That's great, except it is passed through as <domain>\<user>. To do LDAP authentication against Active Directory, I am searching the sAMAccountName attribute of the users. This attribute holds the username for that user, but does not include the <domain>\ prefix, therefore authentication fails in IE and it prompts you for the username and password.
As far as I can tell, the <domain>\ prefix is not stored anywhere inside the user object, so there is no way to authenticate with the credentials that IE provides.
Has anybody got this working? Is there some sort of workaround or hidden parameter in the Apache LDAP modules that might fix this? Thanks!
