Accessing Active Directory in ASP.NET?

Question

I use a console application to write some test code:

    /// 

    /// Returns AD information for a specified userID.
    /// 
    /         


        

Answer 1

Yes. You need to give it a directory connection string. A console app (running as you) runs with your credentials, including directory access. An ASP.NET app runs with the ASPNET user's credentials, which are local to the system the app is running on, not directory-global.
