I have a question or two regarding local users and groups.
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 (C#) application (intranet-based, not on the
Internet), and, on one of the pages, I have two textboxes for end-users to
enter a user name and password. The user name needs to be an actual user
that is on the local computer, and the password (obviously) needs to be that
user's password. Sounds easy enough so far.
Now, the PHB wants validation of the entered user name and password (i.e., a
change in the requirements of the page).
Thus, when a end-user types in a user name and submits the page back to the
server, I need my C# code to take that entered value and validate that the
user they entered is truly a valid user on the local computer (the web
server).
So, my first question is, how can I take the value entered in the user name
textbox and make sure that it is a valid user on the local computer?
Also, once the user name is validated, the password then needs to be
validated to make sure that the password entered is the correct password for
the user.
So, my second question is, how can I take a valid user and an entered
password and validate that the password entered is the correct password for
the user?
Thanks!

OK, I've Googled for this and cannot seem to quite find what I need.
So, I turn to the Gentle Geniuses here for help. Here is what I
need to do from within a script:
Given a username and a password (plain text):
1) Validate that the password is correct for that user *without actually logging in*.
2) If the password is valid, return a list of all the groups the user belongs to.
Otherwise, return some error string.

Now let me describe what I have done and my purpose:
Originally, I want to user ports to install phpBB
But I found that phpBB doesn't support mysql 5.x (but the ports
installed mySQL 5.0.0 alpha)
so I deinstall mysql5-server and mysql5-client
And then I install mysql41-server and mysql41-client on FreeBSD 5.3 by
ports
but now , mysql is not workable

Hi Everyone
I am trying to set and retrieve NTFS permssions for
fileshares on remote machine using ActiveDs Interop. It works for domain
groups and users but when try to retrieve permssions for local groups and
users it gives me dangling SIDs. While setting permssions how can I indicate
whether the user or group is local or a domain group ?.
Following is the code snippet I am using for retrieving permissions

Looking for a way for users to change their passwords on
local accounts. I followed this KB article, 306271, and
it worked as far as adding a new user. I tried to modify
it to do password changes:
Changed this:
Dim NewUser As DirectoryEntry = AD.Children.Add
("TestUser1", "user")
To this:
Dim NewUser As DirectoryEntry = AD.Children.Find
("TestUser1", "user")

okay...so I got this login script and I edited it all and it seems to
run fine...IE it listens to the script as far as permissions go when I
place a restriction on a page and when you login it redirects. But
first it doesn't tell you that you're logged in and doesn't provide a
logout feature.
And most importantly if I type in a random username and password not
listed in the database it doesn't seem to matter it still "lets me
login"
