Hi,

Bit of an ASP.NET newbie here.

I'm trying to set my application up to use a Login Control to accept user credentials and validate these against our organisation's AD using the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider.

I've follwoed MSDN ASP tutorial How To: Use Forms Authentication with Active Directory in ASP.NET 2.0

but the login control just rejects the login everytime with its default failure message. I understand that it would be quite unsecure of the control to indicate that the AD could not be found or the passed user name was wrong but I can't seem to find any info on what I might have done wrong.

I'm using the .NEt development server to run my site - don't know if that's relevant. I'm testing with real AD users so I'm sure the credentials I'm passing are right. Any pointers on utilities I can try, tests I can run to get me closer to the problem?

Thanks,
Andrew
