["Dilli Arumugam (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-193?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13825663#comment-13825663 ] 

Dilli Arumugam commented on KNOX-193:
-------------------------------------

Added documentation to site-doc
trunk/books/0.3.0/config_authn.md

The added documentation snippet
#### Active Directory - Special Note ####

You would use LDAP configuration as documented above to authenticate against Active Directory as well.

Some Active Directory specifc things to keep in mind:

Typical AD main.ldapRealm.userDnTemplate value looks slightly different, such as
    cn={0},cn=users,DC=lab,DC=sample,dc=com

Please compare this with a typical Apache DS main.ldapRealm.userDnTemplate value and make note of the difference.
    uid={0},ou=people,dc=hadoop,dc=apache,dc=org

If your AD is configured to authenticate based on just the cn and password and does not require user DN, you do not have to specify value for  main.ldapRealm.userDnTemplate.
