LDAP Authentication without creating users

Hi all

Is there any way to create users in a ldap directory (in this case MS
AD) without creating their inside Lenya? The authentication against MS
AD is working. But we cant bother our customers IT department with
maintaining different user databases.

Regards
Christian

The problem could be authentication, because in my code i do not use
original authentication, but simple binding, without handling domain and principal.

qMax provided a patch available here 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34737
which handles all user info inside LDAP, based on Posix schemas.

I don't know anything about MS AD, such as: does it support the Posix 
schemas or not. If not, you will need to adapt the patch to your needs.

I think it is not possible,
"Note that only the authentication is done through LDAP;
the Lenya administrator still has to assign roles to the users
within the Lenya Admin GUI."
