Authentication using Active Directory

[GaryDean]

Are there any actual examples on how to authenticate against Active
Directory using DirectoryServices? I've combed the docs but haven't found
much in the way of examples.

I found....
Imports System.DirectoryServices
Dim myDirectoryEntry As DirectoryEntry
myDirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://...")

but that's about it.

At one time, I had planned on doing some stuff with AD more than just
extracting the user's logon from the servervariables object. I looked
around and didn't find much either but here's the links to what little I
did find on the subject. Goodluck.

OH yea. I forgot to mention another option. If you go to Google code
search and type in System.DirectoryServices you'll get some code samples
that may also help you.
