asp.net with ADSI authentication problem
Hi all,
currently I am having a problem trying to get my application to login using the ADSI authentication method. Using System.DirectoryServices namespace, I tried to create an object based on the domain, username, password but still unable to authenticate it. Somehow it goes like this:
public bool Validation(string domain, string username, string password)
{
string user = domain + @"/" + username;
DirectoryEntry DE = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + domain, user, password, AuthenticationTypes.Secure);
if ( DE.Name != null )
return true;
else
return false;
}
it always say project this error "Bad username or password"...
By creating an object of DirectoryEntry, am i already trying to log in into the AD?
Do I need administrative access to the AD to be able to validate my username and password?
How do I go about working on it? The provider does not support searching.
Thank You.
