RE: LDAP Authentication from VFP
Hi everyone, Has anyone tried to authenticate a user to Active Directory through VFP. I found the following dot-net code that I would like to convert: 1) Dim adPath as String = LDAP://wssumits 2) Dim adAuth as LdapAuthentication = new LdapAuthentication(adPath) 3) ok = adAuth.IsAuthenticated(wssumits, txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text) I just don't understand how to convert line #2. Is this a don-net class? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: LDAP Authentication from VFP
I sorry, I should have explained what I am trying to do. I use extensive VFP COM objects in my Web App. I have about 2500 users, who will need to access the system once a year. All of these users are already in LDAP. I don't need to keep them in my system. The app needs to know if he/she belongs to a specific group for security purpose.

RE: LDAP Authentication from VFP
Thanks Ted. Only thing I found was to how to read information from Active Directory. Another word who are the users and groups etc.? I already know how to do that. What I have trouble with is how to authenticate a user in Active Directory? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q192766/ Manjit Basra -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 1:41 PM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: Re: LDAP Authentication from VFP On 12/12/06, Manjit Basra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone tried to authenticate a user to Active Directory through VFP.
