Re: ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider

Juan,

FYI: You mixed us up. MSDN and Glenn Eastlack. No problem....

I am currently using my account for the connectionUsername="" and the
connectionPassword="" properties.
Also using the correct domain name that we own etc...
however my if statement below is evaluating to false always.
if (Membership.ValidateUser(Login1.UserName, Login1.Password))

I know that my username and passwords for the provider properties above are
correct because if I use the wrong one then I get an error that said

"Unable to establish secure connection..." so it is doing something and
talking to the AD I think.

The Membership object is usable...

Now when I use the same UserName and Password that I use for the Providers
Properties I can not get authenticated.

What utility can I use to test this and how do I debug this to get going.

Thank you Juan.

SA

re:
Do I have to use the administrator account for this to work

No. To read the user database, you can use any account listed in AD.
To add users, you must have admin rights to the AD database.

re:
Can I set the connectionUsername="" connectionPassword="" for a Provider
Programmatically?

Sure.

In all cases, though, you must refer to a valid domain/AD database.
You can't use a "test" domain/AD database.

That's why I asked you if :

Does your dc=test, dc=com actually exist ?
Does testdns.test.com\administrator exist ?

actually exist.

I don't think you are the owner of test.com and testdns.test.com
is a subdomain of test.com, so you're using invalid domains.

That will never work.
That's why you received the error message you received.

You *must* use valid domains for AD queries.

I have been trying to use ASP.NET 2.0 built-in Membership Providers.
Particularly the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider.

My web.config looks like this:
<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<add name="ADConnectionString"
connectionString="LDAP://192.168.32.129/CN=users,CN=testdns,DC=test,DC=com";
/>
</connectionStrings>

<membership defaultProvider="MembershipADProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MembershipADProvider"

type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider,
System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"

connectionUsername="testdns.test.com\administrator"
connectionPassword="password"/>
</providers>
</membership>


Active Directory is running on a Windows 2003 server within a VMWare
instance.

When I run the app and try to log in using the asp:Login control, I
receive the following error:

A referral was returned from the server

<providers>
Line 64: <add name="MembershipADProvider"
Line 65:
type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider,
System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
Line 66: connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"

Line 67: connectionUsername="administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"


Source File: C:\www\etlap-01.wur.ecri.org\html\web.config Line: 65

I can connection to AD just fine using the LDAPBrowser and the ADAM
adsiedit utility. Can anyone point me in the right direction to what
the error "A referral was returned from the server" means?

Much appreciated,
Glenn
