If you are looking for a tried and tested facility to allow your 4D applications to authenticate a user against a Windows primary domain controller (or Active Directory Services registry), then look no further.

NT Logon is a plug-in for 4D Windows that will allow your application to check a user login ID and password against a nominated Windows domain, returning either success or failure. Its pretty simple in principle, however this plug-in uses the native Windows Login capability built into the OS and therefore conforms 100% with Windows security rules and policies on the network.

Its fast, and tested. At one corporate client, over 1 million logins have been processed by this little plug-in, enabling their web solutions to be secured through the corporation's overall security model, rather than forcing repetitive logins against multiple passwords in different systems.

And like all Tech Solutions 4th Dimension plug-ins, there is NO cost to deploy this software in your applications. We're bringing back the 'no hassle' software license of days gone by in an effort to make 4D developers more competitive with other language developers. We feel that being able to distribute your application royalty free is a key part in the success of the 4D community, and all Tech Solutions plug-ins will empower you to do just that. You only need to purchase a single license per developer and you're all set!

NTLogon can run on 4D single user, or 4D Server, but requires that the computer that is running it be able to 'Act as part of the operating system', and therefore requires that security policy to be available to the computer with NT Logon.

This plug-in has been tested on Windows NT Server, and Windows 2000 Server running Active Directory Services without issue. We suggest that if you don't have knowledge of the Windows Networking Security Model, then it would be good to have a MCSE nearby to ensure that your computers are setup with the appropriate level of security. The Plug-in comes with a small application to ensure that your computer is set with the appropriate security capability to use the NT Logon plug-in.
