Steve,
How did you pass the UID and password into LDAP? I searched in Novell's
developer website, but couldn't find any useful information about LDAP (i.e.
a list of what attributes are available).
Also, were you querying GroupWise's LDAP, or NDS directly?
Thanks!

I last tried this during the beta of CF 4.5. You can use CF's native SLDAP
client functionality to authenticate via an NDS 5 tree. The only thing I ran
into was that there isn't a login function per se. I used LDAP to query the
tree for specific fields, passing the UID and password along as part of the
query. If the username AND/OR password fail a generic "error occurred"
message was returned. To be somewhat reliable I wrote a parsing routine that
checked returned messages for strings indicating that there was an error. I
didn't have the time to really test out this functionality but, it holds
promise.
I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but, Rick's NWAuth holds
possibilities and I'm dying to check it out.
Regards,
Steve

I didn't see any useful responses to this, so I'll just plug myself for a
moment ... :)
I wrote a (free with source) ISAPI DLL for IIS that authenticates Novell
users against NDS trees. I dunno if that's what you need, but if nothing
else you could always just look at the source and use LDAP to recreate it.
(I *think* that should work anyway.) It's available at:

Has anyone seen a way to authenticate a user's password from a Novell NDS
server?
