cretae ASP page to validate username with AD

J

Joeri KUMBRUCK

Hello,

I'm trying to create an ASP page where users can type in a username
and password, and these credential should be checked with active
directory. If username and password are correct, the script will
continue to run otherwise it will stop. Below you will find my code
I've programmed until now, at this moment I've got one big problem:
the vbs part of the script works fine if you run it as a vbs file. If
I copy/paste it into an ASP page, it doesn't work anymore. Anyone
ideas how I can solve this?
Here is the code:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="nl-be">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>username</title>
</head>

<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>

<!--

Option Explicit

Dim bValid
Dim oRootDSE
Dim oDSObj
Dim oAuth
Dim szNamingContext
Const ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION=1
Dim szUserId, szPasswd
Sub B1_OnClick

bValid = True

Call CheckField(document.form1.username.Value, "Please enter a
value in the field.")
Call CheckField(document.form1.password.Value, "Please enter a
value in the field.")
If bValid Then

szUserId = document.form1.username.value
szPasswd = document.form1.password.value


' Retrieve the current domain
Set oRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")

szNamingContext = oRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
' Validate against the namespace
Set oDSObj = GetObject("LDAP:")
Set oAuth = oDSObj.OpenDSObject("LDAP://" & szNamingContext, _
szUserId, szPasswd, ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION)

' User authenticated if we get here
bAuthenticateUser = True


End If

End Sub

Sub CheckField(ByVal strFieldValue, ByVal strMessage)

If strFieldValue = "" Then

MsgBox strMessage, 0

bValid = False

End If

End Sub

-->

</Script>

<FORM NAME="form1">
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">username: <input type="text" name="username"
size="20"></p>
<p align="center">password: <input type="password" name="password"
size="20"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input
type="submit" value="Submit"

name="B1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>



</body>

And the error is ?

In most cases, failure running something in an ASP page when it works in a
script launched directly is relative to security.

Hi Patrice,

thanks for your reply. The only error message I get, is a small warning
sign in the status bar of my IE when I launch the ASP page. The warning
sign is there for 2 seconds and I guess it's related to the first
Getobject line in my code. As I put a MasgBox before the Getobject line
and behind the Getobject line, I get only the first messagebox and not
the second, I guess it stops executing the code as soon as an error is
detected? Again, all works fine in a vbs file, but I really want to get
this working in an ASP page as I want to publish it in IIS.

1. You are having a vbscript problem: there was absolutely no need to show
us all that html stuff. It's up to you to make our task easier by extracting
the part of your code that causes the problem and only showing us that.
2. Please do not start a new thread for the same problem. I am sure that Tom
will respond to you in your original thread. Starting a new thread makes it
very difficult to carry on a conversation, making it harder to get a
resolution for your problem.

I just noticed that this script is executed client side. It's very likely
disabled for securirty reasons. You should be able to enable scritping error
report so that you have more detailed information about the error (likely
the object is nothing it creation being discarded as a result of the
security settings).

Or don't you want rather to perform this check server side ????

Patrice,
it doesn't help if I run this script from server-side. I enabled
debugging in my IE and get following error: ActiveXcomponent can't
create object: "GetObject"
It seems that I can't use getobject in a vbscript embedded in an ASP
page???
Any suggestions?
