Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 27 Jan 2005

Q:
i have developed a asp.net web site. clients have novell login.My application should take that login (Defaultly) from system and display the default screen(depending on loginid).for that i use form authentication in asp.net. the i used LDAP Path. can i get any sample LDAP Path and Domain name, Username, Password.

A:
if you want to know the format for an LDAP user, that would be to replace the dots in de NDS name for a comma. i.e: CN=Test.OU=Europe.O=Novell would become: CN=Test,OU=Europe,O=Novell. If you are not using Novell LDAP it *might* become: CN=Test,OU=Europe,DC=Novell,DC=com. Depending on the domain (DC) you use to authenticate.
