View 1 RepliesCurrently, users log into a web application with their AD (active directory) credentials which are validated against the AD. Once inside the application, certain users will need to update the AD. When I hardcode a username/password, I am able to update the AD, however when I try to force the object to use the logon credentials or if I don't specify the username/password, it throws an error. Obviously due to security concerns, I do not want to hardcode credentials.

I have a piece of business-soft to make the lives of our employees easier. It's fairly typical, a tabbed-MDI style main form with a load of buttons that activate each of its sub-modules.

Is 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.
In vb.net how do you check if a ANY directory exists inside a directory I would need to know if there is a folder inside the c:windows directory (WITHOUT knowing if there is ANY directory is in there).

View 6 RepliesI would like to have all properties on a user from active directory. I find some property name as :

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

domain.RefreshCache()
But this doesnt work.
