Rails Authentication with Active Directory
active-directory, authentication, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Are you using devise? Then https://github.com/cschiewek/devise_ldap_authenticatable should help you to get started. Since Active Directory is an LDAP server.
There is an older gem, based on the other mentioned specifically for Active Directory: https://github.com/ajrkerr/devise_active_directory_authenticatable It doesn't seem to be maintained, but it still could be useful.
Hope this helps.
Problem
In my rails app i want to authenticate with an active directory. I already take a look at Adauth, but i don't know how to do this I can test the AD with my school Ad: exchange.nhl.nl Can someone help me with the authentication or maybe having a good tutorial or has a better gem? And is there in the AD standing a password?
