[daisy] Fwd: NTLM and groups

[Tim McDonald]

Hi

I running in to a problem with the NTLM user authentication scheme and  
was wondering if the daisy list could provide some pointers on my  
potential solutions.

I'm successfully set up Daisy to authenticate users against the NTLM  
domain controller, the users are created. Everything's great :-)

The problem I'm experiencing is that we'd actually like users to be  
allocated different roles based upon the group they belong to in the  
windows domain.  For example, users in the student group of the  
windows domain should be assigned the role of student in daisy.  
Similarly, users belonging to the staff group of the windows domain  
should be assigned the role of staff. Our IT chaps require this to  
ensure the

I've searched the daisy documentation and looked through the source  
code for the authentication scheme (services/ntlm-auth). Both sources  
don't appear to offer any guidance on how (or if) groups can be  
incorporated in the set up of an authentication scheme.

Thanks in advance

Tim
