Re: newbie help - Active Directory Membership Provider

I'm not sure about the troubleshooting procedures for the provider, but it
usually throws an exception if it isn't working properly.

Note that if you use the AD membership provider, there is no matching role
provider that works with that. Thus if you want to use the Windows token to
do validation, you must use an authentication mechanism that gets you a
Windows token. The AD membership provider is a forms auth implementation
and doesn't get a Windows token.

my web.config:

the only thing that immediately comes to my mind is that the
connection string is invalid. however, no errors are reported. if i
change the machineName to something else it throws an exception.

is there a good way for me to test the AD connection string? some
basic request i can render on screen?


thanks
