I'd like to get an employee classifieds server up that uses LDAP or some other form of active directory based authentication for posting. Does this exist?

The goal is an "employees only" place that people can post personal things for sale, make item requests, and maybe sell services.

I'd rather not do a message board style site, unless that's my only option.

I'm open to almost anything. I'd love to get installed on an Ubuntu machine.

Since most classifieds web scripts wouldn't support LDAP you may want to consider having Apache handle the LDAP authentication. Then have the classified script take the username from Apache basic authentication.

I think I'm going to have to give up on the AD authentication.


Would it be relatively easy to setup a phpbb site that only auto-registered users with emails from a certain domain, and all others would have to get authorized manually by an admin?

^ Yes. I have done this before. You'll need a full LAMP server to do it, but it will be relatively easy to setup if you are new to it.
