Active Directory/LDAP :: Unable To Create A Group Using Directive Services
Sep 9, 2010
this is what i used:
[code]...
It throws me out saying genral access denied... finding the exact solution on how i could create a configuration page such that a certain set of groups could be assigned to my application.
I am using System.directory services namespace in framework 2 to query active directory. I have used fixed user account impersonisation in the web.config file, find the code:
I have disabled anonymous access in IIS. Also i have given Read & write access to the account tang09 for the website virtual directory and Microsoft.NET folder located in windows folder. But still i get prompted for the domain username and password to access the website.
I need to list a group of users, their group name is (IRS Group) to a list group. how to do this. I'm very new to asp.net and dont have much knowlegde about acctive directory.
In my organization we use nested groups. For a particular usage, we have a group (let's assume that the group name "kuku"), and the names of all the nested groups under it contains "kuku" as well.
We may assume that no other group in the LDAP has "kuku" in the name.
I need to create a filter which will return all the users which belong to one of the "kuku"s group.
Obviously, using this filter will bring only the head kukus
(&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=kuku,cn=...rest of the group DN...))
How can I use wild card to fetch all users which belong to any kuku?
For example: (&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=.*kuku.*))
I have a webpage developed using System.Directory services using C# to query active directory. I do get a window prompting me to enter the network user id and password when i access the page from the network. I have enabled integrated windows authenication and unchecked Enable anonymous access.
how to eliminate the window which prompts for username and password?
I'm working on a portal, and I need to check users conection on the ldap.
And if users are members of a special group then it works.
I've exactly used this link to make it works : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649227.aspx (almost work)
My point is : my ldap path seems good, no error anymore, when I log with my username and password.But when I querry it, it returns null, but I'm sure my user is in the group :
// Bind to the native AdsObject to force authentication. Object obj = entry.NativeObject; DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(entry); search.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + username + ")"; search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn"); SearchResult result = search.FindOne(); if(null == result) { return false; }
I'm a normal user, i test with my account. I'm a member of the group that I'm looking for.
I have a need to send out emails to all the people who are in a given group say "HR Department". I need to be able to get all the emails through a for loop and then as it retrieves I should send emails to them.
this is what I came up with but not sure how to go about writing a for loop to get all the emails in the given group.
I am getting the details from groups but some groups have data but did not return any data is there any problem with this code. some groups have returned data.
We had few distribution groups in our AD for emailing. To provide access to my application i use these groups to generate the license keys.
Microsoft clearly says "Distribution groups play no role in security (you do not assign permissions to distribution groups), and you cannot use them to filter Group Policy settings."
Is there any way to get the token access for the Distribution groups?
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; }
We're having an error similar to the one detailed here. We get the error noted above when trying to do AD authentication from our .net (3.5) mvc 2 app. This is our first .net mvc app ...
http://forums.asp.net/t/1161047.aspx
- We are re-using a forms auth library written for a .Net 2 app
- that library/app/config used a service account with min. privileges for binding to AD
- This error occurs in VS 2008, have not tried deploying the app to a server yet (a little early for that)
- like the other user at the previously referenced thread, I can get the 'unable to establish ...' error to go away and display the log on page by putting *MY* credentials in instead of the service account (but not successfully authenticate)
- moving the service account into the same AD OU as my account does not seem to change it ... only using my account credentials does.
- trust level is set to full
Is this some odd permissions trick that is new with .Net 3.5 (even though the ADmembershipProvider is still a 2.0 libary)? This should have nothing to do with MVC itself.
Config looks like this (very standard, like every one else's)
[Code]....
The line/portion highlighted in the debug/stacktrace is:
I am trying to create a new user in AD using ASP.net. I have found a lot of information on viewing and logging into user accounts but little explaining how to create a new user.
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.
