[Fedora-directory-users] Authentication through Active Directory

[Joerg Schoppet]

Hi all,

I'm in an account of a bigger company, which uses Microsoft Active 
Directory for User Management and Authentication.
Now we need to save some additional information for a subset of all 
employees, but the AD-Administrators do not want to include the required 
attributes in the company ad. Our plan is now to install "Fedora 
Directory Server" to hold these additional information. The users, which 
uses a special application, should now connect to this server to 
retrieve the necessary information, but the authentication should stay 
in the AD.

Is it possible, and if yes how, to configure "Fedora Directory Server" 
to pass the authentication information to the AD and only let the 
specific user bind to the directory server if the AD-Authentication is OK?

Thanks in advance
