Using Built-in Windows Auth

[EagleEye]

I want to make users login to my programs but do not want them to have to remember another password. I don't want them to have to logoff the current windows session either.

Example:

Worker A is logged into windows but Manager 1 needs to show User A a report that he does not have permission to bring up. So, using the same login and password that is used to log into windows Manager 1 logs into the program and pulls up the report while Worker A remains logged into the computer.

Anyone know how verify windows 200 users/passwords using VB.net?

If there is its with the Principal and Identity objects in the System.Security namespace, try searching the help for 'Impersonating and Reverting'.

Public Function VerityUser(ByVal UserName As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal Domain As String) As Boolean
Try
Dim Entry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & Domain, UserName, Password)
Dim Search As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(Entry)
Dim results As SearchResult
results = Search.FindOne
Return True
Catch Err As Exception
Return False
End Try
End Function
