Active Directory authentication / authorisation

I have been toying with the idea of having an Active Directory
authentication / authorisation functionality in MS Access; but there
is not much useful info around.

I have built these functionalities for some applications (JAVA, PHP).
The parameters used there are the LDAP parameters for AD:

*searchFilter: (objectClass=user)
*searchBase: OU=register,OU=applications,DC=inside,DC=mycompany,DC=com
*adminPassword: Password
*adminName: CN=LDAP
Lookup,OU=Services,OU=applications,DC=inside,DC=mycompany,DC=com
*ldapURL: ldap://ldap.nicta.net

But I have not had much experience with LDAP queries using VBA :-(

Is there any sample code showing the correct synthax and appropriate
functions to use these parameters in a VBA for Access environment?

My idea is to have users presented with a login form; if they
authenticate successfully against AD then I can manage their
authorisation in locally in MS Access.

An even better scenario would be to also check if they belong to a
specific AD group - this way I could also manage authorisation using
AD.

I am using Access2k3 on Win XP S2; the AD service supports LDAP v4.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
