Hi,

My experience is a bit different.

I found easy to get SSPI (not) working, since I got a lot of authentication errors. I was not able to find a configuration working fine. So I tried LDAP and after some hours tweaking and testing it works nice! I have a Windows environment with A.D. and path based permissions. I only had a headache with an Apache bug related to LDAP, but there is a patch for 2.2.6 version and the last version seems to resolve that.

Regards,

Xoan
