What is the best way to use System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to lock an Active Directory user object? I'm able to determine if an account is locked using..
UserPrincipal principal = new UserPrincipal(context);
bool locked = principal.IsAccountLockedOut();
How do I lock the account? Is there an alternative to doing something like this...
UserPrincipal principal = new UserPrincipal(context);
DirectoryEntry entry = (DirectoryEntry)principal.GetUnderlyingObject();
int val = (int)entry.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value;[code]....
We are coding an intranet site using .net DirectoryServices and AccountManagement to create a computer account in Active Directory with access rules allowing a specific user to add the computer to the domain. Has anyone had any success using the AccessRuleFactory method to set access rules? I'm stumped with a few aspects. So far, this is what we have...Using AccountManagement, we can easily add the computer:
[Code]....
Next we get the DirectoryEntry and ObjectSecurity for the computer. Also dim the ACE object:
[Code]....
Set the userAccountControl: [Code]....
Here's where we're having problems: [Code]....
The IdentityReference needs to be the trustee for the computer - how can we get this using AccountManagement and/or DirectoryServices?And I'm not sure what to use for the Inherited Object guid?
Here's the complete vbscript we're trying to convert: [Code]....
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.
Here in my work I have four guys managing AD server(2003), and one of this guys, locked an workstation account. I would like to know if there are a way to find out who did this.
I need an idea please, i have the task of disabling the Domain Administrator account, but we have a very messed up AC and im practilly new employee here. The administrator account has been used on several services, servers, print servers, etc. Across the network and sites. All our intersite communication is perfect.So what i want is a way to know in which devices this account is configured.Is there a way or tool, where i can input the account, and the output should be a list of servers, ip adresses or devices where the account is configured?
I have read countless forums and found nothing so for so apparently what I need is an unusual request.I need a code snippet that will iterate through an AD domain account and display all properties for a given user.Has anyone ever built such a script?
If there is a code snippet that displays just the available properties of a user object, this would be sufficient. I am trying to build an application to add users to our LDAP and need to populate all our specific values however I don't have the specific property names to populate.
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.
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.
[Code]....
So my question is:Anyone who knows how I should encode the certificate before sending it?
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?
How to authenticate an user against a particular OU in Active Directory. If the AD holds 50 OUs I don't want to look into all 50 OUs , instead it should look into a particular OU( for eg: OU=dotnet users) to authenticate the user.
How to check if user is part of Active directory or not. I have a username, and i want to check if that user is available in the active directory. I am using .NET 4.0 version
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.
Frist Computer act as A domain Controller that has a Active Directory,RADIUS Server,DHCP and DNS

I create a website to add user in active directory. I have 3 file:
1.Default.aspx - Let user fill their privacy information
2.ViewRegisterdata.aspx - Let user confirm their information before it's added to active directory. In this file,there is a Viewregisterdata.aspx.cs which collect user information and send to Class1.cs when users click confirm button.
3.Class1.cs - Do the process in adding user in active directory
I have a problem with a second and third files. When I run the website and go to a second page that is a ViewRegisterdata.aspx and then press a confirm button,it shows an error.
Although I inactivate a code section that do adding user to active directory and write a code to show a value that is sent from A ViewRegisterdata.aspx,It still shows a ViewDataregister.aspx and not show a Windows console.It seems it cannot send user information from a ViewRegisterData.aspx despite I include a Class1.cs into the file already
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 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.
