Hello Everyone,

=20

I am writing an application that needs to have security on some
functions and I want to have the user log in to the application using
their windows domain credentials. I have tried Win32::NetAdmin
UserGetAttributes function to get the password for verification but it
comes back empty (by design?). Does anyone know of a way to pass Active
Directory a username/password combination and have it returned as valid?

Thanks,

Hello Tony



The way about varies depending on the application, The best bet is to
use Net::Ldap and try to bind to you AD server with a binddn of
$username@$domain , if it succeeds it is sufficient.



try it before hand with an ldapsearch
