Active Directory

[Jeremy B]

I know this is really out there, but I would love to have the ability to have FileMaker connect in with Active Directory for use as a clients table. It's a pain to have to maintain a clients table in FileMaker when all the clients that are in this table are already in an Active Directory OU.

Sorry, I can't help you here, but I had to read your posting as I wondered what the shortest topic title ("AD") was all about.

For the record, what is "OU"

[achitophel]

Organisational Unit.

Since we can authenticate against AD you would think you can allocate access / pull names from AD as well.

I'm re-writing a FM solution and i would like to know if anyone has had any luck or thoughts about this.

You can VBscript to extract info from the AD and import it into FM... There are a couple of hoops to jump through but it would work.
