ISS 6.0 & Active Directory

I'm wondering if IIS 6.0 stores the AD information? I'm using IIS 6.0 and
Win 2003 Active Directory in Native Mode.

We're currently working on a web application that references AD to get the
username associated with the login. The system does the lookup correctly
and gets the name from Active Directory, but for some reason when the names
are changed the application never gets the name change. Is this information
somehow cached in the server or IIS?

Help!

Re: ISS 6.0 & Active Directory

Hi,

IIS does not store Active Directory per se.

How exactly are you looking up the username associated with a login?

If you are changing a user's username (rather than just their Name
attributes), have you ensured that it has replicated to all DCs that IIS
might be contacting?

IIS does cache user authentication tokens (so that IIS does not have to
contact a DC for each request that comes in) - in case that is the issue.
