Passing eDirectory Credentials to Internet Explorer / IIS

Passing eDirectory Credentials to Internet Explorer / IIS
Thu, 03 May 2007 17:16:07 GMT
Hello,

Scenario:  We developed a web 'portal' application using asp.net.  The user
logs into the workstation via Ldap (eDirectory) but IE takes Active
directory credentials, is there a way to pass LDAP credentials and not
AD???  The main thing is that the users do not EVER want to log in, they
want to log into their machine/workstation and once they launch IE they
want IE to know who they are and show them THEIR portal site, SSO

I downloaded the Active X LDAP control that looked promising (from here:  
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/ActiveX_LDAP_Controls ) but I am
not sure if this is the correct thing and if it is, I cannot figure out how
to implement it.  Any help or nudge in the right directio is greatly

Don't know if it will help, but when I used (in Delphi) the activex
controlls in a web app, which had no  traditional form per se, I had to do a
"coinitialize" at the beginning of the session and a
"couninitialize" at the
ending.  Doing that I was able to use them just like it was a normal
program.
  The #1 issue in a web application seems to be that lacking a traditional
form the coinit and couninit commands that normally run have to be handled
manually.
Hope this helps!
