LDAP authentication with Internet Explorer Tom Reis 10-06-2008

We are trying to authenticate to our Windows 2003 AD using LDAP with
Internet Explorer. We get it to work with CN= "name" but we cannot get it to
work with sAMAccountName="name". Has anyone tried to do this before?

Can you explain what you are doing in more detail? IE does not
authentication to LDAP natively (unless you are trying to use the LDAP://
moniker in IE). IE talks to a web server. Web servers authenticate
browsers via HTTP auth (basic, digest, integrated) or via some sort of
custom forms auth, usually with cookies involved. For the latter case, the
web server in turn will use some code to perform LDAP operations or
something else to attempt to the authenticate the user.

So, it sounds more likely that you have some code on web server that is
trying to authenticate users to AD using an LDAP bind operation of some
sort. If that is the case, you must explain the agorithm that the code is
using to perform the authentication.
