  DirectoryEntry Invoke SetPassword fails even Impersonating

  Apr 11, 2012 06:19 PM|LINK

  Hi all, I'm trying to manage an LDAP from another domain, from a web application.

  I've read many posts but I'm not being able to make this work.

  This is the peace of code which I'm using:

  using (Impersonator impersonator = new Impersonator(userName, domainName, password))
  {
      using (DirectoryEntry context = new DirectoryEntry(request.Path))
      {
          context.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure | AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind;
          context.Username = request.ClientUserName;
          context.Password = request.ClientPassword;
          using (DirectoryEntry newEntry = context.Children.Add("CN=" + newUser.Name, newUser.Type))
          {
              ADHelper.SetDirectoryEntryProperties(newUser, newEntry);
              newEntry.CommitChanges();
           }
      }
  }

  Where ADHelper.SetDirectoryEntryProperties look like this:

  directoryEntry.Properties["sAMAccountName"] = newUser.UserName;
  directoryEntry.Properties["givenName"] = newUser.FirstName;
  directoryEntry.Properties["sn"] = newUser.LastName;
  directoryEntry.CommitChanges();
  
  directoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { newUser.password });
  directoryEntry.CommitChanges();

  I'm getting this exception when SetPassword is invoked:

  Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

  I can't figure out what's wrong.

  I'll appreciate any clues.

  Regards,

  Daniel
