I seen this question all over the web and couldn't dig up an answer as of yet.
But, what I have is a .NET Windows App that uses a Login Screen (UserName/Password/Domain) to Authenticate a user to an Active Directory Domain.
In my coding, I use DirServices and use "AuthenticationTypes.Secure". That checks the user account against AD, if it's ok, it checks if that user is in a group and gives the 'ok' or 'no-go'.
But, my question is, how secure is this practice...? Is the parms the user enters passed in clear text..? I guess I'm unsure of true purpose of "AuthenticationTypes.Secure".
Thanks!!!!!!!
