Creating a Web Login which authenticates to Active directory?

[Zezima]

I want to create a Web Application which the users logs into with their active directory account and it then shows the users home folder to them on the page. (the user should then be able to delete, download and upload files.

 

It's so that we can access our Active directory from chromebooks in school.

 

Anyone have any experience with this? I've done some really basic research and looks possible with asp.net (never used before). Gonna look into this a bit later in the day - Once Ive got some other jobs done.

 

Thanks

Unless you specifically want to write your own, you could look at HAP which does what you want and more.

If your web server is a member of the domain, under IIS you can set your site to use authentication, both basic and windows auth (which will auto login for you if your website is in intranet sites in ie, or allowed under ntlm in firefox). Then in your script you can use the server variable AUTH_USER to get the logged in user in the form of domain\username, eg. in php you would use the variable $_SERVER['AUTH_USER'] to get it.
