Hello everyone,
I am trying to write some code to check the AD password age during a user login and notify them of the 15 remaining days. I am using the ASP.Net code that I found on the Microsoft MSDN site and I managed to add a function that checks the if the account is set to change password at next login. The login and the change password at next login works great but I am having some problems with the check for the password age.
This is the VB.Net code for the DLL file:
Imports System
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.DirectoryServices
Imports System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
Imports System.Reflection 'Needed by the Password Expiration Class Only -Vince
Namespace FormsAuth

Dim _filterAttribute As String

And this is the Login.aspx page:
sub Login_Click(sender as object,e as EventArgs)
Dim adPath As String = "LDAP://DC=xxx,DC=com" 'Path to your LDAP directory server
Dim adAuth As LdapAuthentication = New LdapAuthentication(adPath)
Try
If (True = adAuth.DoesUserHaveToChangePassword(txtUsername.Text)) Then
Response.Redirect("passchange.htm")
ElseIf (True = adAuth.IsAuthenticated(txtDomain.Text, txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text)) Then
Dim groups As String = adAuth.GetGroups()
'Create the ticket, and add the groups.
Dim isCookiePersistent As Boolean = chkPersist.Checked
Dim authTicket As FormsAuthenticationTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, _
txtUsername.Text, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(60), isCookiePersistent, groups)
'Encrypt the ticket.
Dim encryptedTicket As String = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket)
'Create a cookie, and then add the encrypted ticket to the cookie as data.
Dim authCookie As HttpCookie = New HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encryptedTicket)
If (isCookiePersistent = True) Then
authCookie.Expires = authTicket.Expiration
End If
'Add the cookie to the outgoing cookies collection.
Response.Cookies.Add(authCookie)
'Retrieve the password life
Dim t As TimeSpan = adAuth.WhenExpires(txtUsername.Text)
'You can redirect now.
If (passAge.Days = 90) Then
errorLabel.Text = "Your password will expire in " & DateTime.Now.Subtract(t)
'errorLabel.Text = "This is"
'System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
Response.Redirect("http://somepage.aspx")
Else
Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(txtUsername.Text, False))
End If
Else
errorLabel.Text = "Authentication did not succeed. Check user name and password."
End If
Catch ex As Exception
errorLabel.Text = "Error authenticating. " & ex.Message
End Try
End Sub
`
Every time I have this Dim t As TimeSpan = adAuth.WhenExpires(txtUsername.Text) enabled, I receive "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow." during the login and won't continue.
What am I doing wrong? How can I correct this? Please help!!
Thank you very much for any help in advance.
