Re: AD Authentication From Windows Forms

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My question is not about how to deal with the timeout. I want to know how,
if given a user name and password, to determine if that is a valid AD user.
This is a WinForms app, not a web app. Thanks.

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

I am sorry that I may not understand your question exactly.

If I want to authenticate a user against AD from a WinForms app, how do I
go about it?

Could you tell me what you mean by "against AD from a WinForms app"?

I want a user to have to re-authenticate after a timeout period.

This feature is commonly used in web app, in which case we usually make
use
of Session object on Web Server side. If you want to implement this
function in WinForms app, I think you may use Timer component to do it.
Set
the Interval property of the Timer and handle its Tick event to require
the
user to input a password.

I look forward to your reply.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu
