  2. Thanks for this. I am at the stage of configuring the database users. As our install is in our DMZ, I want to use LDAP. The only option that is close is Active Direcorty. Am I therefore correct in choosing this?

  3. I have never used LDAP. I am assuming using LDAP/Adito would be similar. Actually Active Directory is pretty much LDAP but with a ton more features and add-ons. Let me know how LDAP works for you.

  6. I’ve never used LDAP since all my shops are Active Directory Based. You might want to look for a plugin with Apache but have never tried it. I just updated the page with a link at the top with Openvpn-ALS. Adito got re-named to OpenVPN-ALS. You might have a better time with that. Let me know how it goes.
