The key, as it were, is obtaining the DN (Distinguished Name, think: pathed identification of the user) of the login. In our app we use an AD query to obtain the DN. The rest is baked into our app. Given the DN, we can find the user, and set permissions as we usually do, etc.

The key would be the customer sites, where the changes would be made, on the occurrence of a change on their site sending a list of the employees and their DN's via SFTP/FTPS to the hosting provider. That would enable them to allow only validated logins through their firewall, and they would make the DN available to us.

Thank you for your reply. It is very helpful; it gives me a good reason to tell the customer who asked the question, that I will never ever do it :)
