I am trying to write an asp or aspx page that will create
a virtual ftp directory to the users Active Directory
home directory. That way a user can interact (drag/drop,
copy/paste) via IE with folder view for ftp sites.
I have some code, that seems to be "flaky" it works for
me and some others, but not everyone. I really need to
get a stable version. My asp code is below. Having it
in ASP is fine, but it would be a bonus to have a solid
ASPX (ASP.net) solution.
There is one issue I have ran into that is pretty
annoying, and I am not sure if it can be fixed or not and
that is the security of the virtual directory and file.
I would prefer that when the user is at work on the
network and logged in with their AD account that they
would not be challenged to authenticate, but I could not
get the "request.ServerVariables("AUTH_PASSWORD")" method
to work unless Basic Authentication is used, requiring
the user to login. I do not know if this can be avoided
in ASP.net, but if I can use an aspx page that can get
the password without having to decrypt or whatever that
would be ideal. Anyway, here is the code I have:

Connecting to LDAP, IIS, etc. is not going to work for authenticated users
that are 'peons'... they must be members of certain privilege groups in
order to create an IIS application; for example, guests and domain users do
not have this privilege.
So, this isn't necessarily that you have flaky code, but that you expect any
user to be able to create your objects. A possible alternative would be to
store the data or set some flag in a database, and have a VBS script that
runs as you or as Administrator, wake up every minute and see if there is a
user to add; if so, create the stuff. The VBS script would then run as a
user with enough privileges to create everything you want to create here.
Of course there would sometimes be a lag of up to a minute, between the time
the user entered the data via the ASP page, and when the directory was
actually created and available for use.

An FTP site?? FTP Servers don't do ASP.
An FTP Server will automatically dump a user into a folder if there is
a folder that matches their username. Just create a virtual folder
that is the same folder name as the username. Then point it to
whatever in the file system location you want it to be. When the user
logs in as the particular user name it will auotmatically dump them in
the right folder.
Example:
User name: JSmith
Virtual Directory: JSmith
Virtual Directory Physical Path: "C:\where\ever\the\files\are\"
Virtual Directory Logical Path: ftp://servername/jsmith
When user connect to it as JSmith they are automatically dumped into
thier proper folder. It might be their "ROOT" so it may only show up
as "ftp://servername", but I don't remember for sure. Just have them
upload a file, then you go look for it and see where it ended up.

I don't know of too many DCs that are running ASP applications. Certainly
not where I would be running it, and certainly doesn't sound like a

I was going to say, if he were a member of domain admins, then the whole

It would not surprise me where I work. I see random users in the domain
admins group all the time. "Oh, so and so needed permissions to install a
program, so I put him in the domain admins group so he'd have admin rights
on the local workstation." "Why didn't you at least just add him only to
the local admin group on his machine." "How do I do that?" Nice.
