    text
    copied!<p>I have a web application in a separate server than Active Directory and I want to change a user password. The code is the next:</p> <pre><code>string newPassword = Membership.GeneratePassword(int.Parse(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["passLenght"]), int.Parse(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["passNonAlpha"])); DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry(WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ADConnString"].ConnectionString, WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ADAdmin"], WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ADAdminPass"]); DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de); deSearch.Filter = "(&amp;(objectClass=user) (userPrincipalName=" + name + "))"; SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll(); if (results.Count == 1) { foreach (SearchResult OneSearchResult in results) { DirectoryEntry AlterUser = OneSearchResult.GetDirectoryEntry(); AlterUser.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure; AlterUser.Invoke("SetPassword", newPassword); AlterUser.CommitChanges(); AlterUser.Close(); } } </code></pre> <p>When I run this in my development environment (where Active Directory and the web application are on the same server) it is working. But when I try to run it in the production environment I am having the next error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation</p> </blockquote> <p>What am I missing?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I could go deep in the exception error and I get this:</p> <blockquote> <p>Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))</p> </blockquote>
