Active Directory and authorize section

[Harry Hoffman]

Right, I do understand the distinction which is why I asked the
question.

I didn't know if the tutorial just assumed everyone was authorized and
then granted access as long as the userid/password matched AD or if
there's something missing that should be addressed in authorize.

Cheers,
Harry
