Root DN for user authentication requires a password. Is this supported?

System Information
mojoPortal Version 2.3.6.7 MSSQL
Operating System Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
ASP.NET Info v2.0.50727 Running in Full Trust

When I attempt to use the Root DN without the password I of course get the following error:

2011-09-27 16:25:29,489 ERROR mojoPortal.Business.LdapHelper - login failure
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007052E): Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

   at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail)
   at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind()
   at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_NativeObject()
   at mojoPortal.Business.LdapHelper.ActiveDirectoryLogin(LdapSettings ldapSettings, String uid, String password)

Thanks in advance for any help?

Help support mojoPortal!
Add-on modules

Re: Root DN for user authentication requires a password. Is this supported?

The ActiveDirectory authentication matches the mojoPortal user ID with the sAMAccountName field in active directory. The get_NativeObject() call is used to validate the SAMAccountName/entered password combination as a valid and active user in AD. So the authentication is actually happening at the user level, not the root user.

I hope that helps,
Jamie
