Domain Logons

[NetRacer]

i'm checking the logged on user at start of my program. if the user is not
in my database (e.g. he uses his private notebook instead of the company
desktop), i want to show a login screen where he can enter his windows
username and password. can i somehow send this to the logon server to check
if they are correct or do i have to enter passwords manually to my database
(i want to avoid this)?

Re: Domain Logons

Yes, you can obtain users and groups from Active Directory. We're doing
authentication from within VB.NET against Server 2003.

Take a look at the following:

DirectoryEntry
DirectorySearch er
SearchResultCol lection
SearchResult

Specify your LDAP root.

Tom

Re: Domain Logons

hmm... we have no ActiveDirectory here, only a simple NT4 domain. is it
somehow possible with this, too?

Re: Domain Logons

I think you can still use the same methods as long as you can get to your
directory via LDAP.

Re: Domain Logons

NetRacer,
You still use the Active Directory components & namespace for NT4, however
you need to use the WINNT provider (instead of the LDAP provider). For
details on the different providers, the following may be a good starting
point.

Unfortunately I don't have a sample handy...

Hope this helps
Jay
