I just looked over that, and though I didn't read that when setting up
my code initially I had something very similar. Much of the meat of
that article covers the installation, setup and theory behind an ldap
server. It does have some Java code at the bottom, but it uses the
"simple" method of authenticating passing in a user name and password
via a hashset.

My code already does all of that correctly, the problem is that the
sys admins won't give me the username and password to store in the
code (which would be a bad idea anyway), and the user name and
password can't sit in a file on disk. The program must obtain a
connection to the ldap using the currently logged on credentials, or
the credentials of the person running the job.

Thanks for your help though!
