directoryservices

I am trying to connect to an edirectory 8.8 server running LDAP. How would I go about doing that in .Net? Can I still use the classes in System.DirectoryService such as DirectoryEntry and DirectorySearcher or are they AD specific? Do I need to specify the "Connection String" any differently? I am trying something like the code below but it doesn't seem to work... DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry ("LDAP://novellBox.sample.com","admin","password",AuthenticationTypes.None); DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher(de); var test = ds.FindAll(); Any ideas? marc_s Well, I think your

I'm trying to run a simple LDAP query using directory services in .Net. DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://someserver.contoso.com/DC=contoso,DC=com"); directoryEntry.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure; DirectorySearcher directorySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(directoryEntry); directorySearcher.Filter = string.Format("(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=user) (sAMAccountName={0}))", username); var result = directorySearcher.FindOne(); var resultDirectoryEntry = result.GetDirectoryEntry(); return resultDirectoryEntry.Properties["msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress"

I'm trying to use the .NET 3.5 System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement namespace to validate user credentials against our Active Directory LDAP server over an SSL encrypted LDAP connection . Here's the sample code: using (var pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "sd.example.com:389", "DC=sd,DC=example,DC=com", ContextOptions.Negotiate)) { return pc.ValidateCredentials(_username, _password); } This code works fine over unsecured LDAP (port 389), however I'd rather not transmit a user/pass combination in clear text. But when I change to LDAP + SSL (port 636), I get the following

I have an application replicating data from a directory service using typical System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry code. I now have a requirement to replicate from Novell eDirectory using SSL with a self-signed certificate. I suspect that the existing code would work with a valid certificate that could be verified, or perhaps if the self-signed cert is added to the local machine keystore. In order to make it work for sure with a self-signed cert however, the only solution I can find is to use the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace and the LdapConnection class, whereby I can wire

I have the same web app working in three others servers. Anyone have any idea why is not working in the 4th server? See the error and stacktrace: An operations error occurred.

I have a set of test accounts that are going to be created but the accounts will be setup to require password change on the first login. I want to write a program in C# to go through the test accounts and change the passwords. tvanfosson You can use the UserPrincipal class' SetPassword method, provided you have enough privileges, once you've found the correct UserPrincipal object. Use FindByIdentity to look up the principal object in question. using (var context = new PrincipalContext( ContextType.Domain )) { using (var user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity( context, IdentityType.SamAccountName,
