.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Distributed Applications / May 2004Authentication against NT4 domain
Hello, I was wondering how I would go about writing some code that would be able to authenticate a user atainst a Domain Controller on an old NT4 domain. The call would be coming from a server or client machine that isn't necessarily even part of the old NT4 domain. Is this possible? If so, does anybody have any resources, links, sample code? Are there any classes included in the .NET framework that would help facilitate this? thanks very much, -ZD ZD, I think that the easiest way to do this would be to call the LogonUser API function. Assuming that the machine making the call is part of that domain you want to authenticate against, it shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my post, the machine that I'll be making the call from wont necessarily be part of the old NT domain. This is why I was wondering if this sort of thing would be possible and how I would go about doing it... thanks -ZD > ZD, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > thanks very much, > > -ZD ZD, Sorry, I didn't read that correctly. In this case, you will have to have something on that domain which can take authentication request. A web service comes to mind...

I did some searching and according to this article, the author says that the "lpszDomain" parameter in the LogonUser API call can be used to specify the name of a workstation/member server on the network for authentication purposes. http://authors.aspalliance.com/bdesmond/ArticleViewer.aspx?ArticleID=2 Is this correct? Or does that only work if the caller is still part of the domain? Thanks -ZD > ZD, > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > > > > thanks very much, > > > > -ZD ZD, Forgive me for this whole thread, my brain just isn't working right. Yes, you can use the lpszDomain parameter to specify the domain. My apologies.

My > apologies. Don't be to hard on yourself, Nicholas. This sort of thing is bound to happen every 11,000 posts or so. Regards, Daniel Nicholas, No worries! Thank's for taking the time to respond.
