Excuse my ignorance (I just got crap on the #centos IRC channel for this question), but is there a (easy!) way to have and IRC and/or Jabber server relay a login to a Microsoft Active Directory server for authentication?
If there's a better question to ask this question, please point me in that direction, and I'll be happy to do so
Since Active Directory is mostly ldap, you can vary your search by looking for ldap based authentication for jabber.
This will point you to http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/10/06/jabberd.html?page=1
You might also have a look at the ejabberd website and check there for ldap/AD authentication info. See http://www.ejabberd.im/forum/7
The #centos channel is mostly for supporting the software shipped by centos, and/or installation problems. Questions of your sort will have a varied response based on channel mood, which is a bit bipolar to say the least.
