Active Directory - setPassword method error

[knea]

Hi,

I noticed a bunch of postings about getting error while invoking the
"setPasswor d" method. I am getting similar error and any help would
be appreciated. The error that I am getting is:

-------------------------------------------------
System.Reflecti on.TargetInvoca tionException: Exception has been thrown
by the target of an invocation. --->
System.Runtime. InteropServices .COMException (0x8007052E): Logon
failure: unknown user name or bad password.
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
-------------------------------------------------

Before I call my "setpasswor d" method, I have already enabled the
account and have called CommitChanges() method. I am using ASP.Net
with VB.Net.

I read somewhere that I need to use a secure connection to call the
"setpasswor d" method. Is this true? if yes then please give me some
more details as to how I can connect securely to my Active Directory
server. Passing AuthenticationT ype = Secure didnot work.

Thanks
Knea

You may have to give some code to help others start working on this
issue and also as to how you have setup your web application.

Does it do Impersonation with Windows Authentication. Is IIS configured
to use Basic Authentication etc.

& ",OU=ZackOU,OU= External,DC=POR TAL,DC=LOCAL",
Me.s_PORTALLOCA L_ADAuthUsernam e,
Me.s_PORTALLOCA L_ADAuthPasswor d)

Try
s_User.Invoke(" setPassword", New Object()
{"Password"} )
Catch e As Exception

s_User.CommitCh anges()
