  beginner ( trying to connect login with AD credentials)

  Nov 27, 2012 04:49 AM|callykalpana|LINK

  Hi

  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.

  http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/05/18/forms-authentication-with-active-directory-in-asp.net-2.0.aspx

  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.

  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

  <membership defaultProvider="DomainLoginMembershipProvider">

  <providers>

  <add name="DomainLoginMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="ADConnectionString" connectionUsername="blueblank\myname" connectionPassword="user123"/>

  </providers>

  </membership>

  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.
