ADAM - Can not log on with user name and password to ADAM instance

[Frederick]

Hi,

I am using ADAM as my Data Store for my web application and although this
seems to be fine when using windows authentication with my local account when
I try to create a new user and use this to log on to the adam instance an
exception with the following message is thrown "Logon Failure: unknown
username or bad password"

I set up the user in the ADAM instance and have assigned this user as a
member of the Administrators group. I have also given the user a password.

Then I execute the following code

string path = @"LDAP://localhost:389/OU=Devellopment";
string userName = @"Fred"; //MY CREATED USER

try {
DirectoryEntry d = new DirectoryEntry(path);
d.Username = userName;
d.Password = "Password";
object obj = d.NativeObject; //forces checking of credentials
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Console.Writeln(ex.Message);
}

I have used LDP and can bind to this user using the specified username and
password.

When I try to connect to ADAM-ADSIEdit using the this account radio button
and the following credentials

username: Fred
password: "Password"

Another log on box pops up with message "Please enter a valid username and
password for connection".

I have read through the various documentation and checked through the user
groups and can find no way to connect to my adam instance when not using
windows authentication. I think it is something that I am doing wrong when
adding my user to the administrators group.

Any possible help will be excellent as im seriously stuck with this problem.
Thanks Fred

you have spelled 'Development' wrong in your LDAP path could this be the
problem?
