Authentication against Active Directory

I saw the topics about authentication against Active directory but still have questions:

In summary, If I want that the authentication mechanism will be against AD, I should do the following:

  1. In the "Security" step, I should not mark the check box "Create login page".
  2. In each page that will require authentication, I will add the code:

SESSION("UserID") = "username"

SESSION("AccessLevel") = ACCESS_LEVEL_USER

SESSION("GroupID") = "CityView Users"



Is that it? Did I miss something? Am I wrong?
After I have the correct code in the application, how do I manage the users in the active directory?
Thanks

These three lines do do authecation itself. It just tells you what three variables you need to populate after successfull autentication.
Check this article that explains how to authenticate users against Active Directory:
