Re: Binding to ADAM with a Windows Account

The book is available online via Safari, not books 24x7. That is the
arrangement the publisher, Addison-Wesley, has and I can't really do
anything to affect that.

Have you considered getting a Safari subscription. :=)

rJoe, thanks very much for your help. I will look into obtaining you book.
Have you considered adding it to http://www.books24x7.com as I would then
have access.

I'd be very careful with this type of code as it behaves differently
between
..NET 1.x and 2.0 and can throw you for a loop. Generally, I always
recommend using the 4 parameter constructor for DirectoryEntry or always
setting the AuthenticationTypes property.

To bind with a Windows account to ADAM, you must use
AuthenticationTypes.Secure. In .NET 1.x, when you use the single
parameter
constructor and then set the username name password properties
separately,
the AuthenticationTypes will actually be set to None which will then do a
simple bind. You don't want that, as simple bind to ADAM only works with
ADAM accounts (or bindProxy objects).

We cover this topic in more detail in ch 3 of our book.

Hi, I have an account dev1\administrator. I can use the account with
adsidedit.exe to bind to an ADAM. However, when I use the account in
code
I
get an "Unknown username or bad password error". My code is:

objADAM = New DirectoryEntry(ldapPath)
objADAM.Username = "dev1" + "\" + "Administrator"
objADAM.Password = "password"
objADAM.RefreshCache()

If I use an ADAM account instead of the windows account I can bind
without
any problem.

Am I making sense?
Can you help?
What else do you need to know?

thanks very much for your time
