LDAP authentication

Hi
I am using vb.net code to authenticate the username
and password of somebody logging onto a website using LDAP on Novell (NDS). My Windows 2000 server is reading data from the LDAP tree on Novell.

Does anybody know how to do this in secure mode ?

(Anonymous binding seems to work !)

Any ideas would be appreciated ...

Thanks

With OpenLDAP you can use TLS or SASL, you might want to do some research on that. I'm not sure how much this will help you but this is the only idea I have.

Good Luck,

OK ..
I am using the System.DirectoryServices class defined in vb.net / asp.net

This code works fine ... but I am having difficulty using

DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes.SecureSocketsLayer

- Has anybody used this method successfully ?

NB: We are getting bad checksums in the packets we are sending from Windows 2000 to the LDAP Server ... This could be a problem with incompatibility between TPC/IP drivers

- Has anybody had experience of this error ...?

Greg,

I am trying to do the same thing with ASP.NET and Novell's NDS. Were you successful. Would you mind sharing your code?

TIA,
Bill
