Henrik, I have tried LDAP authentication in the past and stop using it becouse of the passwords being sent in clear text. I read about TLS but then I would need my DC to be a CA and that is not feasible at the moment. So Im testing NTLMSSP now, but is not being very stable and also read that is not recommended for networks with more than 200 users. Is this the end of the road? Is there any other method Im missing to authenticate users against AD?Transparently?
