I've never worked with LDAP before, and I'm having issues connecting to our
AD for user authentication. I am trying to use the code found at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ve_directory_authentication_from_asp__net.asp



I'm using forms-based authentication and everytime I enter my user/pass it
returns (I know it's correct because it is my login credentials):

Authentication did not succeed. Check user name and password.



The heirarchy of our folders in AD resembles this (the location of my AD
entry):

corp.bedking.com >> Bed King >> Corporate >> Information Technology >> My
User Account



The LDAP path I am using is this:

LDAP://corp.bedking.com/CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=bedking,DC=com



Please provide me any insight if you see any mistakes I have made. This has
been a long-running issue that I would LOVE to resolve. Thank you for your
assistance.
 
Not sure of the example you provided, but I would simply reformat the LDAP
connection string to this:

LDAP://CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=bedking,DC=com

You don't need the FQDN before the path, as you are providing that with the
DC=,DC=, etc.

Not in a WinForms app - in this scenario, this "server-less binding"
works well. Not so in ASP.NET environments where you'll need to
specify the server you want to bind to, and credentials (most often).

Try specifying the SERVER (DC) you want to bind to:

LDAP://MyDC01.corp.bedking.com/CN=Users..........
