Log into database using LDAP credentials

[teel73]

Hello all,

I was wondering if it were possible to connect to LDAP and created usernames and passwords based off of the LDAP username and password? For example: When I login a secured database I want the username to be the same as my windows log in and the password as well.

Currently, when I create a secured workgroup, I have to create the usernames and have each person login and create their password.

I want to create the workgroup using a LDAP connection. Is that possible? Am I explaining this right?

I don't think you can do this using workgroups, they are completely isolated to specific databases. You could create your own login system and either prompt the user to login again, or assume that if they are in logged into windows that they are authenticated enough and just capture their LAN ID.

FYI - Workgroups and ULS in general are not supported by Access 2007 and later (well they are backwards compatible but they no longer allow workgroups on the new file formats).
