 * We are settng up a WP blog for use in a Windows network. We are running it on
   a Linux platform, and actually we are using it to replace the SharePoint blog,
   so it actually appears as a site in SharePoint.
 * My question is about the LDAP plugins that work with Active Directory. Do they
   actually silently authenticate the user like Windows aware applications or do
   the users still have to supply their AD credentials in a WP logon screen? I am
   hoping for the former. I do know it is possible with Linux because we have another
   web application running on Linux that the vendor setup that does exactly that.
 * Thanks
