i found this code to update a property on an active directory entry:
If user.Properties.Contains("title") Then
user.Properties("title")(0) = employeeTitle.SelectedItem.Text
Else
user.Properties("title").Add(employeeTitle.SelectedItem.Text)
End If
I understand it except for the ("title)(0). why is this a double index array. what does the (0) do?
I am creating user accounts in Active Directory via vb.net.Once the account is created I need to assign permissions to the "homedirectory" that I have assigned in Active Directory.I have access to the Active Directory name attributes but I need to convert these to a NT account format ( DOMAINAccountName ) to add security via the DirectorySecurity AddAccessRule method.Is there a way to instantiate the NTAccount class from an Active Directory Entry? I'm not sure if this is necessary I just found that class and it looked like a good fit; a simple routine to create the DOMAINAccountName from the Directory Entry attributes like cn might also suffice.

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.

Im pretty use to doing loops (although still relative new to vb) in my code however am having difficulty setting up one that picks up an entry in one data table and then sums a field in another where records have matching criteria. Example:
[Code]...
What i am trying to do is set up a datagridview on a form that shows the summary data. The time is controlled on the form by a trackbar (output to textbox) and I started setting up a loop using (For/Next) to isolate firstly the matching entries in field 3 (time). This works fine. I then used compute to sum the the field 2. However what i want to do is to loop through table 2 and where entries match i.e. where Field 1 in table 2="A" sum matching entries in table 1 where the DateTime matches.

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, _

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.

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.
