    <p>I have the following code in a class that is called from a web service:</p> <pre><code>NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password"); connection = new LdapConnection("domain"); connection.Bind(credentials); DirectoryContext directoryContext = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.Domain, "domain"); // This call returns a domain object with unreadable properties Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(directoryContext); </code></pre> <p>If I instantiate the class directly, all is well, I have a valid domain object that I can work with. If I go through the web service, the domain object is created, but most of the properties throw exceptions, e.g.:</p> <pre><code>'domain.Children' threw an exception of type ActiveDirectoryOperationException </code></pre> <p>I have impersonation enabled and am explicitly setting the credentials before calling the web service. Examining <code>Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name</code> on the web service side shows the username of the credentials I've explicitly set. </p> <p>If I look at <code>Request.LogonUserIdentity</code>, I have the following properties:</p> <pre><code>Name: "domain\\username" (is correct) ImpersonationLevel: Impersonation IsAnonymous: false IsAuthenticated: true AuthenticationType: NTLM </code></pre> <p>Anonymous access is disabled (enabling it makes no difference), and 'Basic Authentication' and 'Integrated Windows Authentication' are both checked. The web service is running under IIS 5.1 on my development box. </p> <p>The code that calls the web service, resulting in a failed call to Domain.GetDomain():</p> <pre><code>MyServiceProxy proxy = new MyServiceProxy (); CredentialCache credCache = new CredentialCache(); NetworkCredential netCred = new NetworkCredential(user, password, domain); credCache.Add(new Uri(proxy.Url), "Ntlm", netCred); proxy.Credentials = credCache; proxy.MethodCall(); </code></pre> <p>The code that calls directly and succeeds:</p> <pre><code>MyService myService = new MyService(); myService.MethodCall(); </code></pre> <p>Any ideas why calls to Active Directory would fail when made in the context of a web service? And again, the call doesn't fail per se... it returns a domain object with unreadable properties. </p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

    1. COI appreciate Per Noalt's input, he had some valuable information, but as I explained in the comments under his answer, I don't have access to the object he's using in his answer because I'm not calling from a web page. Therefore it doesn't answer the question. Per deserves some kind of credit for helping, I can mark his answer as accepted, but isn't that misleading to others who come here looking for an answer to the same problem?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
