LDAP: Passwords Still Required?

Hi All,

No, this isn’t Yet Another LDAP Setup Question!

Fortunately, I have that part working

But my question is whether I can connect and authenticate users without requiring them to provide a username/password and if so, where can I find the documentation (RFC or XEP is fine) that explains the message exchange to accomplish this? All of the documentation, books, and blog posts I’ve read and flipped through only discuss username/password authentication so I’m wondering if it’s possible using single sign-on NTLM pass-through.

Also, is it possible over BOSH?

Thanks.

spark doesn’t allow for ntlm pass through, but you can set up sso using kerberos.

I think pandion will low ntlm pass through though. http://pandion.im/

But what about the message exchange? Is there any documentation on how the stream should be constructed as I’m in the process of writing a client.
