Re: LDAP Authentication

The web server you are running this on shouldn't matter. What matters is the backend LDAP store you are trying to use. In your case, the store is not supported.

The membership provider framework is extensible, so you could write your own LDAP auth membership provider that is coded to work with Sun One. You could use S.DS.Protocols for this which is a lower level, less "MS-specific" LDAP API.

You can use a tool like reflector to reverse engineer the existing provider to see how it works.

Thanks for the reply Joe.

Actually, I am trying to connect using Visual Web Studio 2008. Do I need to
ask for permission to connect using this provider?

If I can't connect using this method, what are my alternatives?

Thanks

I think it is exactly as it says. The provider is specifically designed
only for AD and ADAM. You mentioned you had Sun One.

Are you asking how it is that the provider can tell your directory is not AD
or ADAM?
