I can't successfully login or bind without using the DN. I'm sure it's my lack of LDAP knowledge, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Just seems like when someone logs on to my application using their username, I want to use that username and password (along with some ldap configuration information I'm storing in a config file on my app server) to bind and login (basically get authenticated). The only way I can get it to work is if the cn attribute is the login since it's part of the DN. Am I approaching this all wrong? Do I need to actually bind and login using a Valid DN (stored in the config file) and then search the directory for that sAMAccountName and password to authenticate the user?
