This may be another layer of abstraction that you don't want but we've had good success using CAS (http://www.jasig.org/cas) and the CAS module (http://drupal.org/project/cas) on our intranet/AD. We're not doing group assignments but that can probably be done.

(side note: looks like CAS is using Drupal! :)

Good evening,

How do I integrate ActiveDirectory with Drupal?

Basically I want each user to be automatically logged into Drupal if they're logged in through Active Directory, for there Drupal accounts to automatically be created, and for there home-screens to be different based off there Active Directory group.

I'm building a small Intranet, and want specific things to be displayed based on users' GP groups. Each employee will have a form to send ticket to HelpDesk, IT KnowledgeBase and then a set of "blocks" based on there role (i.e. an account would have a calcuator amongst other things), but the user should also be able to add/remove blocks and move blocks around.

Are there projects and/or sets of modules which I can use to make this system work? (i.e.: ldap_provisioning)

Alternatively should I be looking at a different CMS?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
