View 1 RepliesI need to get the list of domain usrs. The users not necessorily be on the domain where I am logged in. (e.g. I am logged in on domain "Dom111" but I need the list of users from the domain "Dom222")
I want this information on the basis of following -
1) Name of the Domain
2) A valid User name (of-course with Admin rights for the Target domain) and password
I am trying to use the following code -
DirectoryContext dc = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.Domain, "Dom222", "Administrator", "password");
Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc);
DirectoryEntry de = domain.GetDirectoryEntry();
FillList(de);
Here is the FillList function
private void FillList(DirectoryEntry de)
{
DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de);
deSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))";
SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll();
//checkedListBox1.Items.Clear();
foreach (SearchResult srUser in results)
{
DirectoryEntry deUser = srUser.GetDirectoryEntry();
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(deUser.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString());
}
checkedListBox1.Sorted = true;
}
This works fine for the domain where I logged in (i.e. Dom111) but for the other domain (Dom222), while executing the statement - Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); I am getting the error saying "The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted."
Now, For creating the dc if I use following - DirectoryContext dcTemp = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.DirectoryServer, "Server_dom222", "administrator", "password");
Then everything works fine. But as you can see I need to pass the "Domain Controller (Server) Name"which I want to avoid.
I want to learn how to add/delete/update account (including adding mail boxes for new users). Can someone point to a good book where I can begin from. I want to start with some real basics and build from there.

View 1 RepliesLDAP - directory entry issue with out user and password using impersonate and windows authentication
View 1 RepliesI'm a complete beginner with Active Directory, never having done anything with it. So here's probably a basic question.
Can I run a simple query from within an application to get all enabled active directory users?
I created one application, and I need to authenticate local user. This user is the user who is login to his/her Personal Computer.. Main thing his that he/she does not in any DOMAIN... I want NON-DOMAIN authentication.
View 4 RepliesI have developed a web application which has LDAP authentication implemented.When I run the application though visual studio it works fine , LDAP works perfectly and allows if login name and password are correct.
If the same application is hosted on IIS server 6.0, LDAP queries fail to work. What could be the reason for the same ?
I am a newbie on a LDAP, now we want to re-deploy a web application that will validate user name and password with AD in a login.aspx
I had success to check the user and password in VS 2008, but when I publish to server it don't work, (they can login even wrong username and password) I had enable the anonymous access and intergrated windows authentication on IIS. we using authentication mode = windows in our web.config
using something like the following to check the AD account
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry entry = null;
bool isOpened = false;
bool isSuccess = false;
try
{
string dom = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["domain"];
entry =
new System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + dom, tb_username.Text.Trim(), tb_password.Text.Trim());
isOpened = true;
Object obj = entry.NativeObject;
but still no luck on IIS server. Would you mind to give me a hand to solve this issue, I had google for a week and still can't solve :(
I am using the following LDAP string:
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(!description=Generic*)(!cn=*-))
is it possible to modify this string to also include security groups that are located within a particular OU?
Is it possible to authenticate a user using userDN and password? If so, then tell me the syntax.So far i have tried to authenticate using username and password from my c# code using directoryentry which takes the parameters like domainname,username and password. But i need to authenticate using Userdn and password.

I want to store a X509 certificate to a user store in Novell viathe ".NET C# LDAP Library" that Novell has developed [URL]I can store different entries like givenName, commonName, mail, description etc. etc. Everythings works fine :)But I can't store a certificate correctly because the final encoding of the certificate will be failed.I've tried to send the entire certificate as HEX and Base64 in strings and bytes but the final encoding will still be failed.

So my question is:Anyone who knows how I should encode the certificate before sending it?
I am new to LDAP so it is a bit confusing for me. I am converting a Legacy application from ASP to ASP.Net. That application is using LDAP so i have to find an alternative/equivalent of this.
My questions are:
1- LDAP is still used or obselete?
2- Equivalent/alternate of this?
3- How it is different from?
4- How can i setup a small test LDAP server if i have to test it locally ?
5- Any examples/source code/tutorials?
I have googled it and i know the basic concept of LDAP but i was unable to get the proper answer for all of the above.
I'm trying to get the groups a user is member of from an Open Ldap using vb.net 3.5.
Although so far I have managed to connect to the ldap server and get the user's info like sn, givenname, description, mail, adspath,
I have absolutely no information about the user's groups.
My code is like this:
Dim oEntry as New DirectoryEntry
Dim oSearcher as New DirectorySearcher
oEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://myServer/ou=test, dc=example, dc=com", username, pwd, AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind)
oSearcher = New DirectorySearcher(oEntry, "(uid=" & uName & ")")
oResult = oSearcher.FindOne()
if not oResult is Nothing then
Dim ADUser as DirectoryEntry
ADUSer = oResult.GetDirectoryEntry()
end if
Well, ADUser has no info on user membership whatsoever.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I use System.DirectoryServices.Protocols as I saw someone mentioning instead
of System.DirectoryServices or is .Protocols just for Framework 2.0?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to do something that i am sure has been done before. I have a asp.net pagethat changes a password , and it works fine if I use credentials of a user with rights to a OU that holds the users container. However i would like to have the users credentials

be used when executing
userEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new Object[] {passwd});

How do I create a top level OU in LDAP directory that has no partition created? In the example below, if strPath ="LDAP://localhost:389" , how do I create the top level OU=MyServer using Directory Services such that my base DN becomes "LDAP://localhost:389/OU=MyServer"?
Example code shown below will throw an exception at CommitChanges() method call. Is it illegal to call Children.Add on the directoryEntry instance that has no base DN? // Construct the binding string. strPath = "LDAP://localhost:389"; Console.WriteLine("Bind to: {0}", strPath); // Get AD LDS object. try { objADAM = new DirectoryEntry(strPath); objADAM.RefreshCache(); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Error: Bind failed."); Console.WriteLine(" {0}", e.Message); return; } // Specify Organizational Unit.
strOU = "OU=MyServer"; strDescription = "AD LDS Test Organizational Unit"; Console.WriteLine("Create: {0}", strOU); // Create Organizational Unit. try { objOU = objADAM.Children.Add(strOU, "OrganizationalUnit"); objOU.Properties["description"].Add(strDescription); objOU.CommitChanges(); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Error: Create failed."); Console.WriteLine(" {0}", e.Message); return; }
I have a web app, right now we use ADFS for SSO. A client says they have other third-party teams use LDAP to achieve this. How do I begin? What will I need to know from them in order to connect? Will I need to ask the user anything when they log in to get the process started?
