Problem with executing simple ldap query

Question

User933406816 posted

Hello every one,

I'm facing a problem using the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry class. All what I'm trying to do is the following

System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry AD = new System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://dc/","domain\\user","password",System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes.None);

I'm getting the following exception

<error: an exception of type: {System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException} occurred> System.DirectoryServices.Interop.UnsafeNativeMethods.IAds

Any one has any ideas??

You have to be doing more than that to get an error.  The bind is not initiated until you actually use the DirectoryEntry object.  What else are you doing?  BTW, you should definitely use .Secure authentication unless this is ADAM and you are just playing around.  In that case, your connection string looks suspect.
