This requirement is about authenticating the mac users in windows active directory.I am new to the objective-c.I was able to find the user name and password in objective-c, but authentication part is remaining.
Can anyone guide me on this , since I searched a lot but didn't able to find it.Please note that this requirement is very specific for mac machines connected to the windows active directory.
Please guide me on this.
Thanks.
There is one more way to authenticate the user.I tried running the ODBC commands for active directory and it worked.Please add your thoughts on it if you know some other way of doing it.Thanks,Tausif.

I am trying to get a plugin made for outlook that will do out of office with dovecot as its backend using a sieve. Can anyone advise how the plugin will need to logi on the linux box to write to the users sieve file. AS the mailserver connects to Active Directory,there is no local users created. All users are from ad and cant log on the linux box itself.
Cheers for the advise.

I've got one for you thats been bugging me for a bit.
If you run a Windows Service as Local System, how can that service display forms or prompts on the user desktop?
I tried this in one of my previous apps and couldn't get it to work; I settled on having an 'invisible' app running in the user context to handle any user interaction. But as time has passed, I've seen some apps that have nothing more than a service running as local system and yet they produce prompts and forms on the user desktop.
Thanks in advance for any info :)
In my application, it allows users to remotely connect computers and folders within the internal network for troubleshooting, etc.
My problem is that some of these computers that they are trying to connect to haven't yet been authenticated for them, so when I plug the UNC path into a new process for explorer, it doesn't error but simply returns some random local folder (My Documents I think).
My question is... Is there a way I can make a call to the windows authentication dialog to allow the user to authenticate against the remote PC? If the user simply enters the same address into a normal explorer window, the authentication screen will appear, however, using my app it doesn't.
Is there anyway I can force this to show up for the user?
Any help appreciated, thanks.
Based on this discussion:
Prompting for network credentials in VB.NET
You can have a look at CredUIPromptForCredentials API, in vb.net, just P/Invoke it. For more information:

I've looked through MSDN on both the Store API and the Launchers collection, and can't seem to find a task or launcher that would open up an application in the Marketplace application ready for a user to rate, as we could really easily do in Windows Phone 7. Is there an alternative way that I can easily point a user towards leaving a review/rating, or are we going to have to wait until MS provides this, or does it already exist?
I believe, or should I say "I hope", that the "rate and review" command appears automatically under the settings charm for all applications downloaded from the store.
Can anyone confirm this?
Yes it looks like you are right, in the Guidelines for app settings (Windows Store apps) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Hh770544.aspx#user_experience , says that in the charm setting under Rate & Review, the user can rate and review your application.
However: "Only apps that are installed through the Windows Store have the Rate and review entry point."
On a Mac OSX server with Apache, is there any programming library, framework, etc. that I can get to allow Windows Integrated Authentication? I don't mean just LDAP because the user still has to logon the website before I can get the LOGON_USER. I am looking for something that gets the credentials of the Windows user from the browser (IE). I don't care if it uses LDAP, just as long as the user doesn't have to logon to the intranet website.
I have looked for this with J2EE, PHP, Ruby, and more. I have only found unsupported and inactive mods for Apache or pay for single sign on products, but nothing FOSS that is active.
I found Detect user logged on a computer using Java web app. Am I reading it right that that is what I am also asking for?
Apparently, jcifs is not supposed to be used for this.
Ive heard of Araas, but never used it myself though.
Don't know if thats helpful
mod_ntlm: http://sourceforge.net/projects/modntlm/ might be what you are after
You can try mod_auth_sspi, but It doesn't work on apache 2.4 for windows :(
