Authentication user in LDAP without configuration?

[Former Member]

Hi

I would like check (validate) user name and password at active domain.

I found FM LDAP_SIMPLEBIND.

When used LDAP_SIMPLEBIND to validate user name and password at domain, I got error message (CONFIG_ERROR: Error in the configuration in the SAP system (for example, a non-existent LDAP server ID was specified).

Is in the SAP some FM only for validate user name and password without configure LDAP in SAP or some next unnecessary things?

In C# is simple code without some configuration. Only:

using(var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "mydomain")) {
return context.ValidateCredentials(username, password); }

Thank you

You need to configure NetWeaver before you can use LDAP. For example, NetWeaver needs to know which domain controller or LDAP server you want to use for the bind. Once that has been configured, you can then write code to use the LDAP Simple Bind.

Just out of interest, why are you writing code to check password using LDAP ? I'm interested in the use case where somebody logs on to a system and then later needs their password checked.
