Generally, you can't just request the username and password. That's kind of
a security hole if you could. All you can do is attempt to authenticate.
Set up that LDAP directory in the advanced security in CF Administrator and
use this code:
<cftry>
<cfauthenticate securitycontext="myDirectory"
username="#distinguishedName#"
password="#password#">
<cfcatch></cfcatch>
</cftry>
Where #distinguishedName# is the unique object like =
"cn=username, ou=orgUnit, o=org, dc=com"
As far as I remembered with Novell's LDAP, you start with the cannonical
name first and move to the larger parts to the right. You may want to
double check the order though.

How can I query my LDAP server for two values (Username and Password)? I
need to verify that the the values inserted into a form match what is in
Site Server and then continue processing the form.
