Using ASP.NET to authenticate against Domino LDAP

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I am working on an ASP.NET forms authentication module.This module needs to take in a user’s name (short name, long name or email) and a password and authenticate against the existing Domino.

I have the following setup:

  • one windows 2k3 server with asp.net framework 1.1 (we cannot upgrade to 2.0 at this time)

  • one separate sever running the Lotus Domino Server v6.x

I am familiar with authenticating in an all Microsoft environment, but Notes is new to me.

Has anyone done this WITHOUT Proposion (No offense to Steve Walch)? I’m looking for any help - basic beginning steps, code snippets, articles, etc.

Thanks in advance

Subject: Using ASP.NET to authenticate against Domino LDAP

If it is having problems with LDAP binds (session authentication) with the Domino LDAP service, please do the following:In the Domino server’s Notes.ini file, turn on LDAPDEBUG=7

TELL LDAP STOP

LOAD LDAP

Retry your app that tries to authenticate

Snip the portion of the the server console log that traces the authentication and examine the BIND portion.

Does the bind’s DN match that of a Notes Person document? (Let’s assume the password is correct)

If you still have problems, reply to this thread with your trace snippet and comments
