I'm trying to access MS Active Directory to validate user name & password. Since it's an Active Directory, I'm unable to use the "uid=" attribute, however, I have to use the "sAMAccountName=" attribute.



Does anyone have a sample code how to use the search() method to validate the user id & password, and based on that they will be authinticated to access my app.?



Thanks..



Sample code I've written:

			

			Hashtable oEnv = new Hashtable();
			

			oEnv.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
			

			oEnv.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, m_sProviderUrl);
			

			

			try {
			

			oCTX = new InitialDirContext(oEnv);
			

			String[] attrIDs = {"sAMAccountName"};
			

			SearchControls ctls = new SearchControls();
			

			ctls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
			

			ctls.setReturningAttributes(attrIDs);
			

			

			Object DNS = null;
			

			NamingEnumeration result = oCTX.search(m_sBaseDN, sDN, ctls);
			

			while  (result.hasMoreElements())
			

			DNS = result.nextElement();
			

			String Check = DNS.toString();
			

			return true;
			

			} catch (NamingException e) {
			

			return false;
			

			}
