Hi - What's the deal with the DNN_ActiveDirectoryAuthentication extension? Is it regularly maintained and does it work well for simple AD integration with DNN? 

We've been using Glanton for our AD integration, which works great, and we plan to move forward with the new version. However, at this juncture, I need to do my "due diligence" and understand how well the DNN_ActiveDirectoryAuthentication works, since it looks like a free extension included with DNN.

I'm aware of the GitHub page for this extension , it looks like the latest release was 2021.

Can anyone give me some insight into how well this extension works and how easy it is to use, limitations, etc?

Thank you!

Tom
