NTLM Authentication...

[Fernand Galiana]

Hi,

I am working on a rails app and I need to provide
authentication/authorization to the users.
I don't want to have to maintain users/passwords/etc in the database, but
instead use NTLM to authenticate
the users. Do you guys have any pointers code/articles that illustrate how
to accomplish this in rails ?
BTW: I am planning to deploy this app using Apache2 and FCGI.

Thank you all...

Apparently, NTLM breaks AJAX. So, beware.

Turns up:

It's not going to hook into your rails code, so you're going to have to
use dialog-based authentication rather than form-based, but thems the
breaks.

Fernand, please take notes on your efforts, I am sure there are others (such
as myself) that are interested in supporting NTLM auth within Apache+Rails.
I look forward to hearing how it goes, since I'd like to do the same a
little further down the road.

Best wishes!
