Due to PCI compliancy requirements, we have a request from one of our
clients about integration with Active Directory.
Has anyone successfully tied Paradox into Windows Active Directory? and can
you point us in the right direction (resources) for researching and
integrating our application with Windows to provide stricter login into our
app?
TIA

Rick Kelly had a LSL and DLL that one could easily integrate into an
existing Paradox app to provide AD visibility, for instance, to restrict
module access by AD Group membership.

Thanks, Larry!
Where could one find that?

I just found Rick's website at Crooit....I poked around a little but didn't
find what you referenced...maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
Also, we're looking to integrate with AD. In our application built on
Paradox 10, utilizing runtime, we have our own password management
procedures. We looking to migrate away from that, and into AD, but don't
know where to start.
Has anywone done this already? Or possibly know of resources to launch this
endeavor?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I guess he only ever posted it here. Check out the following post (and note
that there were two versions and you want the second one posted):

I did exactly that a few years ago - modify an existing application to
enforce access control by AD group membership rather than the internal
mechanism maintained within the app.

Try contacting Rick to ask about it.
I'm not aware of anyone else who's done it. If Rick doesn't have
something you can buy, you'd need a DLL or OCX that Paradox is capable
of using to interact with AD's flavor of LDAP.

I did, once upon a time, build a set of libraries to support authentication
against a windows security database. In search my archives, I found a folder
from 2004. The main LSL in that folder contained a description of what I
think you are looking for. Here is the description copied right from the
main library:
; NTLM is an authentication protocol used in various Microsoft network
; protocol implementations and supported by the NTLM Security Support
; Provider ("NTLMSSP"). Originally used for authentication and negotiation
; of secure DCE/RPC, NTLM is also used throughout Microsoft's systems as
; an integrated single sign-on mechanism.
;
; NTLM employs a challenge-response mechanism for authentication, in which
; clients are able to prove their identities without sending a password to
; the server. It consists of three messages, commonly referred to as
; Type 1 (negotiation), Type 2 (challenge) and Type 3 (authentication).
;
; It basically works like this:
;
;
; The client sends a Type 1 message to the server.
;
; This primarily contains a list of features supported by the client and
; requested of the server.
;
; The server responds with a Type 2 message.
;
; This contains a list of features supported and agreed upon by the server.
; Most importantly, however, it contains a challenge generated by the
server.
;
; The client replies to the challenge with a Type 3 message.
;
; This contains several pieces of information about the client, including
; the domain and username of the client user. It also contains one or more
; responses to the Type 2 challenge.
;
; The responses in the Type 3 message are the most critical piece, as they
; prove to the server that the client user has knowledge of the account
password.
;
Perhaps the best place to house this is the community web site. Email me
via:
info AT crooit DOT com
and I'll send you the folder contents.
