Pidgin and Active Directory

[Julien Garrigue]

Hi David, 



When I think about security I mean data goes outside of our network. We need a messenger between employees and I chose pidgin because of bonjour protocol which doesn't need to connect to a server outside of our network. So my question is : do you know a messenger able to connect to LDAP ? 



If I install Novell protocol on my windows server, do you think that pidgin can use it to authenticate users ?

If you are concerned about security, you definitely do not want a client 
program, like Pidgin, accessing the password database.

I also searched for LDAP, and the only hit was for the "Novell" 
protocol, which  presumably mean Groupwise.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. 
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, 
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
