I am a beginner to ASP.net, but would like to try out the login thingy. We have a active directory domain server in the office, and users need to be able to use the same credentials to access this asp.net web app.
I have been reading and trying to implement this link and error on the membership keep appearing.
Our AD server's name is. - BLUE01.blueblank.com, the server's name is BLUE01, blueblank is the domain name.
the other part I am confused is this one :
What are the administrator details that I should use assuming that I dun have the administrator access to the AD server, I am just a developer trying to code to authenticate the users against the AD

I am abit confused with the web.config setting, particullarly this one.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ADConnectionString" connectionString="LDAP://dotnetinspirations.com/CN=Users,DC=dotnetinspirations,DC=com"/> </connectionStrings>
Our AD server's name is. - BLUE01.blueblank.com, the server's name is BLUE01, blueblank is the domain name.

<membership defaultProvider="DomainLoginMembershipProvider">
<providers>

Hi,
Have you considered using Windows Authentication...Kerberos?
It might be eaiser to simply code you application, deploy it to IIS and configure the authentication type to be Windows Authentication - Negotiate.
