Modifying Data Through LDAP
I have developed a searchable directory of employees with the added functionality for users to update their own contact information. However, it will only work by using an administrator's username and password in the ColdFusion code. Otherwise it will appear as if no records come up or it will error out if trying to actually modify their own information. How can I get around this problem? Thanks.

PS - I can have them enter their username and password and it will authenticate based on that. However, they can't pull any records nor can they edit their own.
" it would know your record depending on the username you were logged in as"
In this case it is authenticated ldap you are looking at. In that case you will have to add a username and password and have those people have acceess to authenticated ldap.

They have access because it doesn't give an error message when they connect to ldap through their own username and password. The only problem is that they cannot search the directory or update their own information. I was assuming this was most likely something to do with permissions or security but have limited knowledge of active directory so I was not sure how to solve the problem.

Never mind - I figured it out. I went into the users' security settings and added write priviledges to SELF. Thanks for your help anyways.
