<p class="MsoNormal">Hey, I’ve poked around on drupal.org and have installed the LDAP module to integrate drupal with AD, but I’m a relative noob when it comes to LDAP and am having some issues getting going and the documentation seems to be lacking (or I’m
looking in the wrong place).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First off, what in your opinion is the best LDAP module in terms of ease of configuration etc.? I installed this one:
<a href="http://drupal.org/project/ldap">http://drupal.org/project/ldap</a>. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a few permission groups in AD: IT, HR, Users (the latter being everyone else). IT would be mapped to Administrator, HR to Moderator, and Users to authenticated user.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All of our users on AD sit in OU=User Accounts. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We haven’t got anything interesting configured for AD as far as I know, so I’m using “Derive Drupal role from DN” on the LDAP Authorization Configuration page, but I’m not sure what to put there. Do I put OU, or CN, or User Accounts, or
OU=User Accounts? A lot of this is looking like greek to me. Derive roles by attribute or entry – those options I don’t quite get.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Help!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
