I have a good connection to AD. I can authenticate and check error messages from failed auths. The issue I'm having comes from trying to change the password. I have an LDAPContext established at this point (yes it is an SSL connection). The issue comes from not knowing what value to use in the "username" parameter. I've tried all varia...

Hi Guys, I posted a question re LDAP account management, but after exploring this, it's not what i'm after. I've managed to find two ways of creating users on a machine, and i find one is much neater than the other, however, i am uncertain how to convert the first option over to the second option entirely. This was my first solution: ...
Currently, we have an .hta file that employees use to update certain elements of their active directory profile. This alleviates system administrators from having to deal with that issue. The reasoning for a .hta file is obvious. It lifts a lot of the security blockades in place and allows a machine to do things (such as update an ac...
Hey guys, I'm running into a (hopefully) small issue. I have a web app written in ASP.NET, that will be running off of a Windows 2003 Server machine using IIS 6.0.

WCF Service B runs using identity ServiceUserB (as set in application pool). WCF Service B needs to allow access to users in AD group ServiceBAccessGroup. ServiceUserA is part of ServiceBAccessGroup. When Ser...
Right now we have AD/Exchange to manage all of our users logins/e-mail on-site at the office. The major app that everyone uses maintains its own login accounts and all users have a tendency to forget login information for at least one of the two logins. What I'm considering doing is using AD to authenticate the user in the application ...

Is there a .NET library for LDAP paths manipulations? I would like to have something equivalent to System.IO.Path, allowing e.g. to do something like string ou1 = LDAPPath.Combine("OU=users","DC=x,DC=y"); string ou2 = LDAPPath.Parent("CN=someone,OU=users,DC=x,DC=y"); Otherwise, what's the common way to deal with LDAP distinguished nam...
Is there an equivalent tool available for use in Windows 7? I just need to browse the membership of some small Active Directory groups that are deep within a huge hierarchy, so I can eventually write code to work with those groups.

The users will only use IE, and within IE it can pass their credentials without being prompted to, if they are logged onto the domain controller. What I want to know is, how do I go about grabbing their username? I thought this would do the trick: $_SERVER['auth_user'];but no luck. Just like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/168...
