Is is possible in Windows XP Pro to allow users defined in LDAP (not active

Log into what? In Windows, you either log into your workstation directly, or

you log into an AD domain. That's it.

They have to have a local user account, or they can use an AD domain account

if the workstation belongs to an AD domain. Those are the only two types of

accounts you can use.

So is it possible to put the workstation into an AD domain and have AD go to

LDAP?

I'm not sure how to answer that. AD is Microsoft's implementation of LDAP.

You can log into a local workstation account OR into an AD domain account.

That's it. Period.

 

What exactly is it you have running, and what is it you want it to do? I've

done my best to answer your questions but perhaps you aren't asking the

right ones...

I would like to give a list of users the permission to login to certain

windows XP pro machines, all the users are already in a existing LDAP server.

Then the answer is no. Without AD you can't control anything centrally. You

will need to set up individual XP user accounts on each workstation.
