Is there a way to specify the hash algorithm (MD5, SHA1, etc.) to use for storing the passwords when you update an Open LDAP directory using Java APIs with code like this: private void resetPassword(String principal, String newPassword) throws NamingException { InitialDirContext ctxAdmin = null; Hashtable<String, String> ctxData = n...

Hi, Can anybody help with the above. We're using a CMS product called Immediacy, which claims it can handle silent authentication using LDAP / AD but just can't get the thing to work. Ignoring Immediacy, can anybody point me to a good article or post that lays out the steps to do the above (assuming it's achievable)? Basically, we nee...
I understand that System.DirectoryServices is a "layer above" System.DirectoryServices.Protocols and abstracts some of the complexity. Are there any other advantages, performance or otherwise, to using System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher vs. System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest for LDAP queries from .NET. What crit...
We are trying to shape up an old, 2 tier, Delphi based application. It originally uses database authentication, we'd like to transform the db user accounts to global users, so an OID server could perform the authentication instead of the database. The Delphi program can no longer log into the database if the account is a global user. I'...
I would like to write my own LDAP client under Linux, specific to our local environment. Most probably I will use QT4 to provide a shiny frontend without much hassle. I found that there seems to be no standard C++ library for this. OpenLDAP provides a C API and there should also be a C++ API (experimental?) somewhere.. Do I need to use...

Can a user be a member of multiple Organization Units (OU) in Active Directory ? Also, is there a standard format mentioned by Microsoft on how an OU should be created and what its attributes are ?

When using .Protocols, I can run the following pseudocode to authenticate to an AD: try { LdapConnection c = new LdapConnection("User", "Password"); c.Bind(); } catch (LdapException le) { Debug.WriteLine(le.ResultCode); } This code will allow me to get the "Invalid Credentials" error string, and the AD code "49", but I need t...

I have several .htaccess files that use mod_auth_ldap for authorization to different files/directories. They bind to LDAP with a username/password. Is there a way that I could set the AuthLDAPBindPassword in the Apache config instead of in each .htaccess, so that I don't have the password in a bunch of places? I'm thinking that I could...
I'm trying to create a new user record into OpenLDAP with object classes person and uidObject. The problem seems to be that with System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry I've found only a way to add a new entry with one object class, but not a way to add multiple object classes. This C# code DirectoryEntry nRoot = new DirectoryEntry(pa...
