Re-verify password

We use a basic AD authentication for smartforms, and the whole thing is running on https.


We have some forms that we need people to sign. Generally I argue that they have already authenticated with the server, so we know that they are who they say they are. However, on a few critical forms it would be nice to have them re-verify their password (from AD) as their"signature". This would eliminate the possibility that someone walked away from their desk, and another user is not impersonating them.


Any thoughts? Worst case I can grab some other piece of personal info from the HR database and use that to verify them, but the ideal would be password.

Hi Willner


Unfortunately we do not have a out-of-the-box service which allows for on the fly authentication against Active Directory. In order to configure your scenario, I'm afraid that you'd have to build a custom service.


Kind regards,


Eugene

I had figured out that there was no OOTB way to do it, but was hoping someone had written something that I could use to get started (copy).  Has anyone out there done it?  What exactly was involved?
