You can't log in to Pidgin; you can only use it to log in to various 
services.  Use of active directory for authentication is likely to be 
implemented in the server for that service, not in the client. 
Certainly the string "active directory" appears nowhere in the Pidgin 
source code (version 2.7.9 scanned).

Which service are you trying to access, and why do you think that Active 
Directory might help and might need support within Pidgin?

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.
