Login Control / Forms Authentication with ActiveDirectoryMembersh

E

etierra

Hi,

I'm currently developing an intranet ASP.net 2.0 application. I’m using the
login control that came with V.S. 2005. In my web.config , I use
ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider so that my users can login using their
normal office network login accounts, which existss in our Active Directory
server .

Everything works fine, at first. Existing users can login using their
username and password, and if an incorrect username was entered, the login
conrol displays a message saying "Your login attempt was not successful.
Please try again" which is expected.

But the problem is, if the user logins with correct username but incorrect
password, the application is throwing an exception (please see the server
error message that I'm getting below).

I can't find the solution to fix this problem, or at least be able to catch
the exception so that at least I can display a friendly message and exit
gracefully or be able to redirect back to the login page.

I have tried everything, spent days and nights (mostly nights) finding the
solution but can't seem to make this work. Any ideas or thoughts would be
much appreciated

Thanks in advance.

This is the partial content of my web.config:

<connectionStrings>
<add name="ADConnectionString"
connectionString=LDAP://ads-server.mydomain.net/DC=mydomain,DC=net />
<add name="MyASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data
Source=myDBServer;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
<authorization>
<allow roles="sysadmin" />
<allow roles="projadmin" />
<allow roles="managers" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ADAuthCookie" defaultUrl="default.aspx" timeout="30"
domain="" />
</authentication>
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="CustomizedRoleProvider"
cookieTimeout="30" cookieSlidingExpiration="true">
<providers>
<add connectionStringName="MyASPNETDBConnectionString"
name="CustomizedRoleProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider"
applicationName="/PMS.Net"/>
</providers>
</roleManager>
<membership defaultProvider="MyADMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"
applicationName="/PMS.Net"
connectionUsername="mydomain\administrator"
connectionPassword="password"
attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName"
enableSearchMethods="true"
name="MyADMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</membership>


This is the error message that I get when the application crashes:
