Hi, I am trying the example in the link below to authenticate against the Active Directory by using forms authentication and Visual Basic .NET.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326340

but in logon.aspx, I need to set my LDAP directory server path. I am no idea what the DC stands for and what value I should put if I run in localhost. Please advise.

Dim adPath as String = "LDAP://DC=..,DC=.." 'Path to your LDAP directory server
Dim adAuth as LdapAuthentication = new LdapAuthentication(adPath)

DC stands for your "domain" in the active directory.



E 12°55'05.25"
N 56°04'39.16"

OK, I have put the string in the format like this. It is working now.

String adPath =
"LDAP://domainname.company.com/DC=domainname,DC=company,DC=com";
