Re: LDAP Authentication

Thanks Joe for your responses. Not exactly what I was hoping to hear, but did
shed some light on the problem at hand. Building my own directory sounds like
the best course of action. Hopefully that will be straightforward.

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?

Hi,

I am trying to authenticate user and password against Sun One LDAP. I
am
getting the following message when trying to connect:

This provider can target only Active Directory and ADAM directories

Any ideas why I am getting this messages?
Here's my connecting info:

<add name="ADConnectionString"
connectionString="LDAP://ldap-r.hutty.edu:123/ou=people,dc=hutty,dc=edu"/>

connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"
connectionUsername="cn=user1,ou=roles,dc=hutty,dc=edu
" connectionPassword="password"/>

Thanks
