If I have an external application (www.outside.com) outside the firewall, but users inside the company wanted to be able to enable LDAP authentication against their local (behind the firewall) AD server (acting as LDAP) or another LDAP server (name it ldap. inside.com) how it will be done.
It seems technically possible that when a user tried to log into an external site through the Silverlight interface on the client side, the SL application could connect to the external.com login service and he would be asked to authenticate this user against ldap. inside.com. An SL application would make calls to ldap.inside.com to authenticate the user.
Of course, there is a question of how the server is safely notified that the client has authenticated itself ... Has anyone done this?
