    Arrow Validate a User Account

    This code will allow you to check to make sure the entered username and password is valid for what ever domain you specify. If you enter the local machine name as the domain it will also validate the windows account.

    Code:
    Public Class LoginForm
        Declare Function LogonUserA Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal lpszUsername As String, ByVal lpszDomain As String, ByVal lpszPassword As String, ByVal dwLogonType As Integer, ByVal dwLogonProvider As Integer, ByRef phToken As IntPtr) As Integer
    
        Private Enum LogonType As Long
            LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE = 2
            LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK = 3
            LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT = 0
            LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT50 = 3
            LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT40 = 2
            LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT35 = 1
        End Enum
    
        Private Sub cmdOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOK.Click
            Dim Result As String
    
            Result = ValidateUser(txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text, txtDomain.Text)
    
            If Result = "True" Then
                MsgBox("User Validated")
            Else
                MsgBox(Result, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Error")
            End If
        End Sub
    
        Private Function ValidateUser(ByVal UserName As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal Domain As String) As String
            Dim Token As IntPtr = IntPtr.Zero
    
            If LogonUserA(UserName, Domain, Password, LogonType.LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LogonType.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, Token) Then
                Return True
            Else
                Try
                    Throw New System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetLastWin32Error())
                Catch ex As Exception
                    Return ex.Message
                End Try
            End If
        End Function
    End Class

    No sure what you mean but try putting "Local Host" in the txtDamain textbox.

    This is only an example.
    vb.net Code:
    1. Result = ValidateUser("Nightwalker83", "password", "Local Host")
    when you quote a post could you please do it via the "Reply With Quote" button or if it multiple post click the "''+" button then "Reply With Quote" button.

    Re: Validate a User Account

    Try a "." instead ...

    Also I would suggest using managed code such as this:

    vb Code:
    1. Public Function ValidateUser(Username As String, Password As String)
    2.         Using context As New System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext(DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.ContextType.Machine)
    3.             Return (context.ValidateCredentials(Username, Password))
    4.         End Using
    5.     End Function

    Just whipped up and tested ... local machine only since that's what your using

    .. oh and you will need to add a reference to System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
