An another way is to replace the Gina.dll in windows XP by a new Gina to auth from various source as ldap (there are some free project like pGina.org that is hosted on sourceforge). In google look after "Gina" or "pGina.org". I suppose you will need to replace the DLL and configure each workstation that is waste time on a big park of stations. > -- > Shouben Zhou > Science Systems and Applications Inc.(SSAI) > 1 Enterprise Pkwy, Hampton, VA 23666 > Tel: (757)951-1905 Fax: (757)951-1900 > Email: Shouben.Zhou@xxxxxxxx > > > > -- > 389 users mailing list > 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users > -- Jean-Noel Chardron -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
