Hello,

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 web app that I need to lock down. I play to use
an Active Directory membership provider.

However, I need to limit my app to only users w/i a particular
Organizational Unit, as maintained in our Active Directory by our
admins.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this?

thanks!

user.

In other words: How do I get a user's OU?

thanks!
