Hi

Essentially I am working on an intranet and want to be able to access user
information without requiring the user to enter their username and password.
What I'm trying to do is map an nt user to their active directory account
from asp.net. As I don't have the full LDAP path for use with the
directoryservices.directoryentry I don't really know how to do it. It seems
a fairly fundamental thing so fear I've missed something obvious but haven't
found any demo code that doesn't require a username/password to get
anywhere.

Thanks for any help

Tim

Here's some sample code I put together to check nt account information and
it takes a simple change to have it check exchange data.
Be sure to add the System.DirectoryServices to the references list and of
course add it to your using declaration.
Also be sure to add System.Runtime.InteropServices

    DirectoryEntry objDE = new
DirectoryEntry("WinNT://adsisvr.mydomain.com/mylogon");

    // LIST THE CHILDREN VALUES
    Response.Write("<h3>Children</h3>");

        foreach(DirectoryEntry objChildDE in objDE.Children)
            Response.Write(objChildDE.Path+"<BR>");
    
    // LIST THE PROPERTY VALUES
    System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection properties =
objDE.Properties;
    Response.Write("<h3>Properties</h3>");

        foreach(string propName in properties.PropertyNames)
        {
            PropertyValueCollection values =
properties[propName];
            foreach (object val in values)
                Response.Write("<b>"+propName+":</b>
"+val.ToString()+"<BR>");
        }

one way to do is to use the DirectorySearcher object and go hunting for the
user but that does not guaranty one to one mapping.

let me know your end up doing

Tim,

I have some VB.NET code that retrieves the SAMaccount of an
authenticated user and uses that info to query the AD for more info for
example the Display Name. Is that what you are looking for?
