Hello Everyone,

I have an application with uses AD authentication to grant access. It does not work when the user is connected thru VPN. It fails when I call objADSI.UserName - "Error accessing object property username". Any idea how to make it work for VPN as well? Here is my code:

OleObject objADSI, objADUser

Try
 objADSI = CREATE OleObject
 li_Rtn = objADSI.ConnectToNewObject ('ADSystemInfo')
 If li_Rtn = 0 Then
  ls_UserDN = String (objADSI.UserName)
 End If
Catch (oleRuntimeError l_Err)
 ls_Err = 'AD Error~r~n~r~nSource: ' + l_Err.Source + '~r~n' + l_Err.Text
End Try

Return

Thanks Chris.

My machine is not on the domain. Can I still use advapi LogonUser?

 

Regards,

My VPN is linked to the office network. Once connected it lets me access office network resources.

The VPN must allow you to participate in a "Domain". Just basic network access is not enough.

Hi Ashutosh;

   That would fail if the VPN was masking the fact that your App was not on an MS-Windows DOMAIN based network.

Also, i believe that the DNS of your office would have to be set as part of the VPN connection. the vpn software should have that as an option
