Simple LDAP Binding

I have a need to connect to an LDAP server with "simple" binding.

It seems that Sitefinity uses the standard binding mechanism with no way to revert to simple binding.

When using ldp.exe to verify connection this is the call I need to mimic:

ldap_simple_bind_s(ld, ​"user", ​"password");

The normal call using the "NEGOTIATE" method looks like this:

ldap_bind_s(ld, NULL, &NtAuthIdentity, NEGOTIATE (1158)); // v.3
                NtAuthIdentity: User='​userinfo'; Pwd=<unavailable>; domain = 'thedomain'​

 Any idea on how to get Sitefinity to make the ldap_simple_bind_s call above?

It turns out that doing an anonymous or basic setup makes the ldap_simple call, so that is a good thing.

 However now I am getting this error in the error.log file.

Hi Clarence,

Can you please refer to the following article for more details about configuring the LDAP settings in a Sitefinity project. What I can suggest is to use the Negotiate authentication type which is the default type and you should be able to successfully connect to your LDAP server.
