[jira] [Commented] (CONNECTORS-184) Active Directory authority could use support for SSL, and checkboxes/pulldowns for selection of authentication modes

["Karl Wright (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-184?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13619416#comment-13619416 ] 

Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-184:
----------------------------------------

The following link seems to indicate that only three types of auth are supported with Active Directory: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/thread/e7f59d01-cc65-4c51-8dfb-8cee5be3c2ea/

The types are:

- simple
- DIGEST-MD5
- GSSAPI

Unfortunately there is also mention of a cert being required for GSSAPI.  It's not clear at all how that works.

> The active directory authority's UI or implementation currently does not support SSL.  Also, the selection of security protocol does not help the user at all by giving any hints of what's allowed and what isn't - it's just a simple text box.
