I am developing a website that will authenticate the user and change the old password with a new password.
I use a WinNT string connection and a setup password, without checking the old password.
My code is as follows:
'actual setting password
Dim entryD As New DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Environment.MachineName + ",computer")
Dim NewUser As DirectoryEntry = entryD.Children.Find(username, "user")
Dim nativeobject As Object = NewUser.NativeObject
NewUser.Invoke("SetPassword", New Object() {strPassNew})
NewUser.CommitChanges()
'setting password ends
This works fine, but the authentication code does not work.
This is as shown below:
'authentication starts
Dim adsiPath As String
adsiPath = String.Format("WinNT://{0}/{1},user", domain, username)
Dim userEntry = New DirectoryEntry(adsiPath, username, password, AuthenticationTypes.Secure)
'Dim nativeobject1 As Object = userEntry.NativeObject
Dim newobj As ActiveDs.IADsUser = userEntry.NativeObject
authent = True
'authentication ends
This is authenticated, but the exception that it throws is:
logon failure: unknown username or bad password
the first time, but if I do it again, the error is:
"Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user using multiple usernames are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."
