Acitve Directory / Passwords

[stoneb]

I have a client who uses SMTPit and POP3IT to download and send email via FileMaker.

Currently they have about 40 users and I have a FileMaker file that houses all of their signons and passwords (used with POP3it)

I have just changed FileMaker to authenticate via their Active Directory which works well so I can use Get(Account Name) to see who logs in, but I can’t figure out any way to pass on their password to POP3IT so they can download email.

Every so often users have to change their passwords and then we have to update in the FileMaker staff table and I want to do away with that so it’s all done via the Active Directory.

Any ideas how this can be achived?

This is a significant security vulnerability, and I recommend that you do not employ this method.

I want to move away from having the logins and passwords in FileMaker.. that's why I'm trying to achieve it with the Active Directory.

I want users to be able to login onto their computers, open up FileMaker (without a password... External Authenicate), and then download their email via POP3it.

Use a custom dialog to get the passwords as needed, but don't store them in the database itself.

Maybe a global variable?
