Unable to modifiy Active Directory from Test/Production servers

OK since I am in a holding pattern on this issue perhaps someone has seen these symptoms and can provide some sage advice.

IIS Anonymous user authentication doesn't work with AD credentials

I have an asp.net application directory, and I want to use anonymous authentication in the Directory Sercurity tab. If I use the pre-Windows 2000 style DOMAIN\USERNAME for the username, everything is fine. If I use the AD-style (UPN) [email protected], then I get a 401.1 failed login.

Web application to use window domain accounts for authentication

Hi, If you have a web application that will run inside a network, it makes sense for it to support windows authentication (active directory?). Would it make sense to use AD security model as well, or would I make my own roles/security module that some admin would have to configure for each user? I've never dealt with windows security...

Creating large amount of mailboxes on Exchange 2003

I've got around 750+ users that I'm going to create mailboxes for. Should I sleep for a bit between creates to not overload the exchange server or does it not matter? I've read that the actual mailbox is not created until the user accesses it or they get mail. I'm using CDOEXM and DirectoryServices in .NET 2.0. Imports System.DirectoryS...

How do you use Active Directory in a "hosted solution"?

Yesterday I got a call from a Microsoft representative asking if we supply "hosted solutions", presumably as part of the big Windows Azure push.

Authenticating ASP.NET users against Active Directory: who manages users and groups?

A project I'm working on supposed to authenticate users agains AD. I've never worked with AD before, neither did I work in organizations that use AD, so here's my stupid question: in case if AD involved, who manages roles, groups and users for application? Is it my responsibility to provide an UI for site admin to assign AD users to my a...

Best way to quickly determine whether a user account is a member of an AD group?

I currently have some code that pulls down a list of users in a group and then iterates through that group to determine if a given account exists, but it seems like there ought to be a more concise (and perhaps faster) way to accomplish this. This code (VB.NET) attempts to use the member property of the group object, but it is returning...

Add LDAP entry to Active Directory via ext/ldap

Using ext/ldap I'm trying to add entries to an Active Directory. As long as I only use one single structural objectClass everything works as expected, but as soon as I try to add an entry with a second auxiliary objectClass, the server reports an error: Server is unwilling to perform; 00002040: SvcErr: DSID-030F0AA0, problem 5003 (...

Active Directory authentication

I have a c# class which uses the WindowsIdentity namespace to return details of the current Active Directory user. This is accessible through a web part on SPS and sure enough returns the desired record values specific to that user.

How can I determine if an AD group contains a given DirectoryEntry from another (trusted) domain?

I am trying to beef up my code that determines whether a user is a member of a given AD group. It essentially works except when the member of the group happens to be from another (trusted) domain because it is stored as a foreignsecurityprincipal. Given that I have a valid DirectoryEntry object for both the Group I want to test, and the...

What does "active directory integration" mean in your .NET app?

Authenticating against Active Directory with Java on Linux

ASP.NET wiki with AD authentication

I am exploring the options of establishing a wiki site for my company's division of developers, numbering over a hundred. We are a pure Microsoft (Certified Partner) shop, so it is natural to base an implementation on ASP.NET and IIS for familiarity's sake as well as extended learning opportunities.
