 ===== LDAP Integration =====
-ILRI uses an Active Directory server for user authentication, which is primarily used for Exchange e-mail services.  Currently users have an Active Directory username and password for their Windows-centric single sign on and e-mail, and then they have a separate account for use with the HPC.  There exists functionality in Linux to look at Active Directory for user authentication.
+ILRI uses an Active Directory server for user authentication, which is primarily used for Exchange e-mail services.  Active Directory is Microsoft's proprietary version of LDAP with a little extra special sauce.  Currently users have an Active Directory username and password for their Windows-centric single sign on and e-mail, and then they have a separate account for use with the HPC.  There exists functionality in Linux to look at Active Directory for user authentication.
+<note warning>This no longer works! It relied on anonymous access to the AD server, but ILRI's Active Directory servers are configured to [[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326690|disallow anonymous binds]].  These notes have been left here for reference only!</note>
+This was working once, using a //slightly// customized PAM module, but broken when IT services disabled anonymous binding.  In order to use the module several steps are needed.  Download the module source and edit the code to point to the correct server, then compile it as shown below:
+  * Compile the code:  ''gcc -fPIC  -c pam_cgiar_ldap.c''
+  * Link the code:  ''ld -x --shared -o pam_cgiar_ldap.so –lldap pam_cgiar_ldap.o''
+**pam_cgiar_ldap.c**:
 <code c>
