Very simple question actually: I currently have IIS anonymous access disabled, users are automatically logged on using their Windows login. However calling User.IsInRole("Role name") returns false. I double-checked User.Identity.Name() and the "Role name" and it should return true. I currently have this in my Web.Config: UPDATE I was ...
I have a remote MSQL instance that I want to use with biztalk. My machine running biztalk cannot join the same domain as the MSSQL instance, nor can we create a trust relationship between the two windows domains. Is there a way to configure biztalk to authenticate? Username/password (like any other DB would use) would be perfectly fin...
I'm using C# 3.0 and the System.DirectoryServices namespace (not the newer System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement namespace of .NET 3.5). How can I find all of the SMTP Servers on the local domain? Is this even possible? Is there another way to accomplish this? ...
If I have an externally hosted application (www.outside.com) outside the firewall but users within a company wanted to be able to enable LDAP authentication against their local (behind the firewall) AD server (acting as LDAP) or other LDAP server (call it ldap.inside.com), how would this be done. It seems technically possible in that wh...
I'm writing an application which I want to work with both Active Directory and local users and groups. I thought I could use the NativeGuid property of a DirectoryEntry as a unique identifier which was retrieved using the WinNT provider against LocalHost. However, using the following code in LinqPad I get the same NativeGuid for both en...

We use a ChangePassword control that retrieve the Membership information and uses the OLD and new password to change the user's password. THAT Do...
What's the best way to unit test an application accessing the ActiveDirectory and/or mock the dependencies to the AD? All the required types such as DirectorySearcher and DirectoryEntry don't appear to be easily mockable. We've got methods like FindByUserName() and would like to (unit) test them. ...
I am trying to implement a small windows application in C#.NET which will allow user to quickly set mailbox delegate rights. I am thinking of seperating this from Outlook, so I want to do it directly with exchange server. The exchange server version I am using is 2003. I have done hours of Google search on it and found CDO, CDOEX, can no...
We are about to migrate an intranet web application from using a proprietary forms-based security to Active Directory. The application logs a variety of user actions, and there is a significant amount of data associated with user accounts. Our plan was to migrate all of these UserId columns in various tables: from a foreign key linking...

How do I utilize a smart card to authenticate a user over LDAP from a web application? How do I know who the user is? Is there a way to access the cert? Can I get it from the session...

Hey All, I am currently designing a Membership/Profile scheme for a new project I am working on and I was hoping to get some input from others. The project is a ASP.NET web application and due to the short time frame, I am trying to use any and all built in .NET framework components I can. The site will probably entertain < 5000 users...

Under the security settings, anonymous access is disabled, integrated windows authentication is enabled, digest authentication for windows domain servers is enabled, and the realm has our AD domain address. Everything works fine with thi...
I am having a problem using LogonUser from vb.net to authenticate a user. I am using the LogonType of "LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK" (3). The documentation specifies to use this option for simple authentication and that it does not cache credentials. The problem I am having is if a user has just changed their password, they can login using e...
Edit: I think I can boil it down to: I want to use windows authentication mode, but be able to get a list of users like you would with Membership.GetAllUsers(). I'm trying to develop a solution for use on an intranet, so all the users will be authenticated. I guess I'm looking for a best of both worlds solution. Here's the gist (I'...
