Asp.Net Forms authentication using Active Directory

Hi.

I am using forms authentication in ASP.Net against Active Directory.

I have followed the example provided by Microsoft. Here is my problem.

Standard practise for AD Administrators is to flag the account to change the
password when he logs in. Also that passwords expire after 30 days.

If any of these conditions are true the sample code from MS simply returns
the error message: "Bad username or password". This happens the second the
code tries to bind to AD. It does not tell me that the user has to change his
password or that his password has expired but simple that it is a "Bad
username or password".

Has anyone come accross this or have any ideas.

*Ps I did not implement the portion of code where they create a generic
pricipal object etc as I do not need any other info from AD other than
checking the username or password. Could this have anything to do with the
problem?
