Every time I start a new session of Internet Explorer, the web application prompts me for my Active Directory Username and Password instead of automatically retrieving that information from the currently logged in Active Directory profile.
How do I setup Single Sign On in the web config or default.aspx.vb file code-behind so that it doesn't prompt me for my active directory credentials? [code]....
Background: I have an application that loads marketing companies into a drop down list if the currently logged in user is a member of that marketing group in active directory. The Group ACOMP_USER_BIG is compared to MarketingCompanyShortName Big in the database records via a web service. Problem: I have 3 Newly added AD Groups that won't load in production but load fine in the drop down on my local dev server. The deployment guy already tried doing an IISReset and that didnt fix the issue. All the AD groups have read access only and no write access. We need to find out more information on why the marketing company AD groups are not loading. How do I get the groups to load correctly or prove that the problem is not a programming issue and a deployment or AD issue? H*ere's the VB.NET Code behind that populates the marketing company drop down list.

View 3 RepliesI'm building three web applications in .NET that will all share a users database and login information. Lets pretend that application 1 is the "parent" application and applications "A" and "B" are the "child" applications. All users have to be logged into application 1 to have access to applications A and B.
Authorization, Authentication, and MachineKey sections of all web configs are present and work correctly.
I have the correct web.config settings in all applications to achieve Single Sign On except one problem remains: what do I put in the "loginUrl" attribute of the forms tag in Applications A and B.
Assume that the url for the login to application 1 is [URL] How can I get applications A and B to send the user back to application 1 for authentication using only settings in web.config?
I am trying to create a new user and set their password in AD LDS using asp.net vb. I'm binding to an instance of a directory entry, which is working fine. And I can add a user without a problem.

View 3 RepliesIs it possible (I'm sure it is) to validate a user's credentials against Active Directory without using Directory Services?I'm building a Browser-Based WPF application which requires users to login to and get validated via Active Directory. Since .Net 4.0 (or maybe 3.5) accessing Directory Services from an Application requires the application to be fully trusted. Since IE won't provide full trust to an application if it doesn't have the signing certificate in it's cert store, the application is refused startup permission.
If I don't use Directory Services, then I can leave the application as Partial Trust and validate my user's credentials without having to install a certificate on each user's machine.

I having a program built in VB.Net and would like to take in the users windows name and then compatre that with a security group in AD, if they are in a certain group then redirect them to the next page otherwise block them.I have tried many ways using many different snippets of code from different forums, but cannot find a code piece of code that works?
View 6 RepliesI would like to have all properties on a user from active directory. I find some property name as :
distinguishedName, SAMAccountName, sn, givenName, TelephoneNumber, mail
If you have a list of property? As each user has an ID in AD ?
I'm having a weird problem with active directory and the display name attribute. I can create an AD account with no problems, the account shows up, I can log on as the account, everything appears to be working as intended. The problem is, our company requires that the display name be in the form of "Lastname, Firstname". Thats all fine and dandy when you create an AD account use the MMC snap-in, you type in the users name as "Lastname, Firstname" in the display name field and when the account is created, the display name shows as "Lastname, Firstname" as you would expect.
The problem I am having is this, whenever I create an AD account programmatically, I can't for the life of me get the display name to show up as "Lastname, Firstname". The displayname property is set as such, checking the AD account using the MMC snap-in shows the display name is set correctly, but when looking at the list of user accounts, the account is always displayed as the users username. The account name I am using is "Test User", see pic below.
if you try to rename the account, the field it tells you it is editing is called Full Name? I can't find a property in AD even called Full Name so I am completely confused, here is a picture of me trying to rename the programmatically created account, as you can see, the display name field is set correctly even though it doesn't display that way. And of course, after renaming the account as seen below, the display name shows up correctly as "Lastname, Firstname"Here is the code I use to create the account, just for reference.
Public Sub CreateActiveDirectoryAccount(ByVal sUserName As String, ByVal sFirstName As String, _
ByVal sLastName As String, ByVal sUserPrincipalName As String, ByVal sPassword As String, _
ByVal sHomeDrive As String, ByVal sHomeDirLocation As String, _

View 1 RepliesIm trying to connect to AD and carry out some basic tasks for a .Net application written in VB .Net. I would like to create the application so when it loads, it automatically binds to the default AD domain that the user is logged onto. This has led me to writing the code
Dim domain As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DC=domain,DC=com", Nothing, Nothing, AuthenticationTypes.Secure)
domain.RefreshCache()
But this doesnt work.
i am trying to get a list of all users in the active directory on a domain. The following code is being used but doesnt seem to work:
Public Function GetAllUsers(ByVal ldapServerName As String) As Hashtable

Then i get the "find people" box pop up. So i know i have the correct LDAP but not sure why the other information is preventing it from working..

I have a list of computers from the AD which also have IP addresses in one of the fields. The IP address does not seem to be accurate. It looks like the AD updates are not as frequent as the DHCP server.
MYCOMPUTER1 1.1.1.1

MYCOMPUTER3 3.3.3.3
Is there anyway to get the IP address from VB soon after I retrieve the record from AD? Querying the DNS/DHCP server via code?

View 3 RepliesWe are cunrretly developing a solution for compact framework and windows mobile 6.5. The idea is that the user have to login using custom login for on the phone before they can do anything else. Our backend is WCF, and here we have planned to implement an interface based solution where the customer can select between a variety of "AuthenticationSources" one including Active Directory.Is there any clever way to do this using built in .NET functionality, or do I still have to do it the old fashion way like:
1) Write domain, user and password in the windows mobile login form.
2) send this info using http webservice to the wcf server, where the server check for this device, which is the preferred login source. If it is ad, it will load the ADauthenticator class, peform a LDAP query against the ad selected, and simply return true or false if user passed or not, then the webservice return tru/false to the device.
3) If the return answer is true, the device will store an encrypted registry key on the device indicating to the device client that the user is logged on.
4) If the user select logout, or if the device is restarted, or loses power, the registry key is cleared on boot.is this a good enough solution? The devices are NOT considered to be members of the actual domain. And this solution should handle a solution with a database source for logins.
I have been working with Visual Studio 2005 for about a year and a half but the deployment task was never left to me. So now I'm being asked at my company to build a setup which will prompt to install up to 4 applications, which can be chosen by the user using checkboxes.
All of the 4 share the same dependencies, so I created a merge modules package for that purpose. But I still don't know how can I build a single setup to install these 4 applications.
Is there a way to code a common handler for every instance of an event? I am trying to display the .text property of a control in the status bar on MouseEnter.
