SYNOPSIS

use Authen::Smb;
my $authResult = Authen::Smb::authen('myUser',
'myPassword',
'myPDC',
'myBDC',
'myNTDomain');
if ( $authResult == Authen::Smb::NO_ERROR ) {

}

DESCRIPTION

Authen::Smb allows you to authenticate a user against an NT domain. You can specify both a primary and a backup server to use for authentication. The NT names of the machines should be used for specifying servers.

An authentication request will return one of four values:

NTV_NO_ERROR \fIs0(0) NTV_SERVER_ERROR \fIs0(1) NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR \fIs0(2) NTV_LOGON_ERROR \fIs0(3)

NTV_NO_ERROR is the only return value possible for a successful authentication. All other return values indicate failure, of one sort or another.

EXPORT_OK constants

  NTV_LOGON_ERROR
  NTV_NO_ERROR
  NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR
  NTV_SERVER_ERROR
