Hello,
I have no idea what is Windows authentication, AD and LDAP.
I was asked to implement security for a web site that I am developing using LDAP account.
Please some one give me basic and simple information about this.
Thank you very much!

Windows authentication just uses normal windows logins.
Active Directory is an official Microsoft technology which makes use of LDAP and others:
LDAP is an underlying, standardised protocol:
If they said do it using LDAP then I think thats a good place to start :)
