Resetting A Users Password Through LDAP?

Mar 26, 2009

Long story short I have a situation where some users have access to two domains that do not trust each other. They log into one domain and their user ID's are identical on the other domain. So when they change their password on the first domain they need to call into tech support to have it reset on the second domain. I'm writing a app that checks if they have access to the first domain but not the second and if this is found to be true it prompts them for the new password to update the second domain.

Here is where I am stuck. The following code works GREAT but I need it to be more flexible:

Code:

Friend Function ResetPassword(ByVal OldPassword As String, ByVal NewPassword As String, ByVal UserName As String) As String
' Resets a users domain password

[Code]....

The issue is the CN is different between domains (one is first name last, other is last name first) so I need to search by UserID which is the same between the two. So I tried searching by sAMAccountName but it says object not found. Also I need to be able to search the entire Super Corp OU. When I get rid of the extra OU's the search also fails

So I need to search LDAP for sAMAccountName anywhere in OU=Super Corp. How can I do this? Every combination I try seems to fail yet if I hard code it like the above example it works great. The idea is to replace CN=John Q. Public with sAMAccountName=" & username & " to pull jsut that user on the fly.

If it matters all clients are XP SP2 or higher, both domains are Server 2003 or higher. VB 2008 SP1. The error message when a different search is done is a "Object not found".

Adding Users To AD Using LDAP?

Mar 21, 2012

I'm writing an application that will add users to Active Directory. I'm trying to use this code to connect to the "Users" shared folder in AD

[URL]

However it adds the user in with the shared folders, instead of within the "Users" shared folder. Shouldn't CN=Users mean it will add it to the "Users" folder?

AD Account Password Resetting

Jun 10, 2010

Looking to make a simple VB form, that has three text boxs on it. One for a users username, and two for passwords. What I want to do is provide teachers with this form, they type in a students username, and if that username is found in AD it enables the two password boxs. Then the teacher can type a new password for that user in the boxes (the second one obviously being a validation) and then when they click save, it updates the AD account with the new password. Any ideas on how to do this? Does anyone have any code?

Using LDAP To Get All Users In Active Directory?

I need to authenticate a user against LDAP/AD (windows 2008 r2) so I can leverage the domains password rules etc...

Is there anyway around this?

Connection To LDAP Fails Unknown Username Or Bad Password?

Mar 23, 2011

I would really welcome some help with this issue. We have a php code that works and connects to the LDAP. When I try to connect using VB.NET 2010, it fails to bind with logon failure unknown username or bad password. Below is the connection information. When I talk to the folks who run the ldap server, they say I am binding sucessfully, below is the log file for the sucessful bind? If I continue and try to execute a search I don't get any results. The server is running openLDAP ver 2.3.39 on a linux server, server requires connection on port 636 for secure connection, or 389 for anonymous.

Force Users To Enter A Username And Password?

Dec 9, 2010

When I originally set up my project I 'hard-coded' my username and password in so that I could access a remote DB2 database. Now that I need to publish it to other users they need to be prompted for their own usernames and passwords. I've gone to "My Project/Settings" and deleted the items from the string - but when I run I get the following message on the statement:

Me.BATCHTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DB1DataSet.BATCH)
ERROR [08001] [IBM] SQL30082N Security processing failed with reason "3" ("PASSWORD MISSING"). SQLSTATE=08001

The settings are as follows (before I delete the userid and password):

Name:DB1ConnectionString
Type:(Connection string)
Scope:Application
Value:Database=DB1;Server=99.999.999.99:446;userid=myuser;password=mypassword;Persist Security Info=True;

The question is what do I have to do to make it forget my userid and password - and always prompt the user for both when running up?

.net Desktop App : Log Users Application's Usage By Users After Remote Deployment?

1.I�d like to publish a free vb.net desktop application for the users to download and use meanwhile I�d like to collect usage information ex: user ip address, user�s registration information, used features, time spent� if the user allows the report to be sent back.

2.Also , in order for the user to be able to use the application, he�ll have to register it then, everytime, before the application loads, it gets verified online that it was registered, maybe validate the registration information or a valid user name and password, no critical personal information. The target of this step is for the application to be used exclusively by the registered user and maybe on his computer only.

Asp.net - Resetting CascadingDropBoxList :S?

Nov 25, 2011

I've got the following set up:On a webapp, I've got an updatepanel Inside this update panel, I've got two regular panels and a set of two radio buttons, radio1 and radio2.On Panel1, I've got 4 drop down lists (lets call it DDL group1), being loaded by the CascadingDropDown Extender, meaning the first box triggers the second, and so on. All 4 DDLs have autopostback enabled, meaning that every time I select a value, a SelectedIndexChanged method is called which loads data from a database, based on the information selected on the last DDL.

On Panel2, I've got the same set up, except that I've only got 2 DDLs (let's call it DLL group 2), also linked as cascading dropdowns. These also have SelectedIndexChanged methods.

Resetting A DataGridView?

Jan 27, 2010

I've created an application that runs queries against a SQL server (via Data Adaptors) in VB.NET 08 and returns the results to a DataGridView. It works great and returns my data, but when I switch to a different query that returns different columns, the DataGridView keeps the old columns from the previous query and adds the new columns from the new query to the end (far right) of the DataGridView. Is there a way to counter this? I don't want those previous unused columns showing up in my results. I tried setting the DataGridView DataSource and DataMember to Nothing and that didn't fix it.
