active directory authentication using ldap

Hello All,

I am trying to add forms authentication to an asp.net website. I am
developing locally, than publishing the site to the web server.

Everthing works fine on my local machine in debug mode. I am able to
call up the login page, successfully authenticate against the remote
active directory database and then be re-directed to the requested
page.

The problem occurs when I publish the app to the web server. I call up
the application and get re-directed to the login page. I enter the
same credentials, but receive the following error: Unknown error
(0x80005000)

Development environment:
I am developing on my local machine and then publishing to a web
server. The web server is part of the domain xxx. I have a windows
account for this domain, a vpn connection and a mapped-drive which
enables me to publish.

I have enabled anonymous access for the virtual directory using the
default account IUSR.

I determined that the Active Directory root was YYY.xxx.com and then
set my LDAP connection string to:
LDAP://YYY.xxx.com/dc=xxx,dc=com

I have a vpn connection and to the web server and have mapped a drive
wheich allows me to publish.

I thought that the problem might be that the IUSR does not have
permission to access the Active Directory database. I tried changing
the anonymous account to my own domain account, but the same error
occurred.

Pointers appreciated...

thanks!
