  Website is not able to connect to Active Directory

  May 18, 2010 01:55 PM|LINK

  Hi All,

   

  I have done a small active directory application and it is working fine in my testing environment. However, When I put it on the production server, it is throwing following erro

  Main Error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
  

  Stack Trace :[DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007052e): Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
  ]
     System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) +636
     System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() +36
     System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() +31
     System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection.PopulateList() +25
     System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection..ctor(DirectoryEntry entry, String propertyName) +93
     System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection.get_Item(String propertyName) +132
     IntranetApps.ContactInfo.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Work\IntranetApps\IntranetApps\contact_info.aspx.vb:846
     System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +104
     System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +107
     System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +7
     System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) +11
     System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +33
     System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +5614
  

   

  1.) I am able to ping the mail server (where active directory is in) and can map a drive

  2.) The webserver is in the VM ware

  3.)I am using directory service logging method to connect as following

  Dim RootDSE As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://0.0.0.111/rootDSE")
          Dim DomainDistinguishedName As String = RootDSE.Properties("DefaultNamingContext").Value
          Dim ADEntry As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://0.0.0.111/ou=abcd Employees," & DomainDistinguishedName)
          ADEntry.Username = "administrator"
          ADEntry.Password = "abcdef

  
  Is there any problem with my coding to connect? Please help me on this

  Finally, I managed to find the solution by myself

   

  This is the code

  Dim RootDSE As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://mail.local.abcdefgh.com/rootDSE", "user", "pwd", AuthenticationTypes.Secure)
  Dim DomainDistinguishedName As String = RootDSE.Properties("DefaultNamingContext").Value
  Dim ADEntry As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://mail.local.abcdefgh.com/rootDSE," & DomainDistinguishedName)
  
  
  ADEntry.Username = "user"
  ADEntry.Password = "pwd"

  
  All I added is AuthenticationType.secure and user login details. Apart from this I added "<identity impersonate="true"/>" in my web.config file
