Active Directory

Hello,

I have been asked to write an intranet app that deals with certain HR
functionality. It would be awesome to be able to tie into Active
Directory from Rails. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, what
did you use and like/dislike about it.

Thanks

I've only used raw LDAP integration, but it seems ActiveDirectory-
specific support was attempted here: http://activedirectory.rubyforge.org/

I'm not sure how up to date/maintained it is, and if you try it I'd be
interested to know how well it works.

Ya, I was going to go the raw LDAP route myself but I've been scouring the web for something else. I'll take a look at the link you sent and report back if it works alright. If its no good I may or may not write own bit which i will put on github... I have read your book, Jeff, it got me started in Rails. Our entire infrastructure runs on .NET and as CTO I'm trying to introduce more agile methods and get rails going in the enteprirse. to date i've been able to put rails to work on about 5 outwardly facing apps for our members... pretty awesome indeed. Whoever said Rails isnt ready for the enterprise either didn't try hard enough or didn't understand the technology. I was skeptical at first until I tried it too but the productivity gains just cant be measured valuable enough.

That's great!  So glad to hear of yet another .net-to-rails success
story!  Feel free to contact me off-list anytime with progress on the
ruby-with-activedirectory integration.
