[PROFTPD] Windows 2000 LDAP authentication

This is just a question to get me started and too see if it's possible. After this i want to do some research myself.
We have a WINDOS 2000 server with LDAP running. Now i want to install PROFTPD with mod_ldap so i can pull user inlognames + passwords from the
WINDOWS 2000 server.
Is this possible or is there an other way to do this ?

thnx in advance

ok that looks good, i only have 1 question left before i start to see if it works. I still have to put the LDAP info in my proftpd.conf right ?
Oh yeah, and anohter things is that i'm getting a special key so i can identify myselft to the LDAP server does that have any influence on the whole thing ?

Your ldap information needs to go in the config for nss_ldap which you can read about on the padl web site above. It is pretty simple. Other then that you shouldn't have to do anything. It SHOULD work out of the box. If it doesn't, let me know. I am not sure what you mean by special key? Do you mean your AD requires TLS? NSS_LDAP supports that automatically. AD should tell your linux box on the initial attempt to bind.

Thanks, please don't hesitate to post if you have anymore issues. Connecting to AD can be very finicky sometimes.
