Additional Comments:

I created this extension to work in our corporate environment which is mostly Windows with Active Directory. Though I adapted this code from an earlier mod that was designed for Apache. Original mod that I used as my starting point: viewtopic.php?f=70&t=1620325. The code is basically a merged version of the phpBB 3.2 LDAP code and that earlier mod, with some additional features. I tested the code using IIS on a Windows 2008 R2 server using the built in Windows authentication module. I am still testing the code to see if there are any fundamental flaws with the code/process and to see if there are any additional functionality that would be useful. I welcome feedback, especially to ensure I didn't completely FUBAR this up.

Dear lazyrabbitt,

Thanks a lot for writing this extension! We would love to use it but encounter an exception when enabling it:

Exception: The service "lazymod.kerberossso.listener" has a dependency on a non-existent service "phpbb.pages.operator".

How can this be solved?

Regards,
