I've been searching a lot for a simple example to search for a single
account name in active directory but have been unable to find what I'm
looking for. I did find an exmple (that worked) that pulls out all names in
the AD but that isn't what I need.

My goal is to check the AD for a username that matches
Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"). That would be the first step. The next
step would be to see what security or distribution group they're in (in AD)
and redirect them based on that information.

This is the code that searches the entire directory and returns EVERYONE. I
suppose this would be useful only if I knew how to search the list for a
single name.

======================================================

Dim oroot As DirectoryEntry = New
DirectoryEntry("LDAP://corp.commspeed.net")
       Dim osearcher As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(oroot)
       Dim oresult As SearchResultCollection
       Dim result As SearchResult

       osearcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=person))" ' search filter
       osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn") ' username
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name") ' full name
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("givenname") ' firstname
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn") ' lastname
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail") ' mail
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("initials") ' initials
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("ou") ' organizational unit
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("userPrincipalName") ' login name
       'osearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("distinguishedName") ' distinguised
name
       oresult = osearcher.FindAll

       For Each result In oresult
           If Not result.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("sn").Value Is
Nothing Then
               ' writes specific values retrieved from above - this is just
a sample.
               Response.Write(result.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("cn").Value
& "<br />")
           End If
       Next

======================================================

Is there a way to rework that code above for my specific usage or is there
another route I need to take?

TIA,
Jim
