Browse All TopicsI have a site to build that has a login on the home page. There are only two fields, username, and password. The form will then redirect to a page that needs to validate the user against the Active Directory and then fake it as that user. Obviously the user will initially be IUSER_ServerName. This is what I need to change (I think). When they are redirected to a different location according to the group they belong in (which will be either Students or Teachers, again gathered from the Active Directory details), they will not be prompted again with the NTFS permissions pop-up login. This is supposedly the idea of Active Directory. Saving two login entries.
What I need is the code to achieve this. I know a reasonable amount of ASP but am fairly ignorant of Active Directory. I also need the code to be in ASP and NOT ASP.Net. I also need some idea on what settings I need to apply to the folders. I think it is just applying security levels to specific groups only. Is this even all possible?
Bonus points may be given (up to another 500) for a complete and working solution. I don't have time to do a lot of error checking and testing. Especially playing around with it to get it to work with slightly different values. I can change the form names, group names and server/workgroup name accordingly but that's about it.
