ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider against non microsoft LDAP

hello,

is it possible to configure the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider to
talk to a non-microsoft LDAP server such as novell eDirectory ?

all the config settings only specify a standard LDAP connection string,
so i am hopefull it can be done.

if it can't be done, is there an LDAPMembershipProvider available
somewhere or do i need to write this myself ?

best regards,
tom

It might be possible, but I'm not aware of anyone who has done it yet.
There was another message thread just a day or two ago from someone who was
using the provider with ADAM, but using a different objectClass for users
rather than "user". He ended up needing to reimplement part of the code to
support that.

It is worth a shot. The provider also supports inheritance and is easy to
reverse engineer if you need to make small modifications.
