Thanks for the tip Dale, I'm nearly there: I've got this query: <cfldap action="QUERY" name="getLdapUser" attributes="userPrincipalName,cn,dn,displayName,ou,sAMAccountName" start="dc=newgency,dc=com" scope="SUBTREE" filter="(&(objectclass=user)(samaccountname=ryan))" server="dcName" port="389" username="NEWGENCY\ryan" password="xxxxxxxx"> It fails if the username or password are incorrect, and returns an empty query when they are correct. Now this is enough for me to get by for now, but I want to get a bit of information out of the LDAP directory, i.e. their full name, group membership, etc. Can anyone see why its returning an empty query rather than the user info? thanks, bye!

I know you can do this by disallowing anonymous access and checking the AUTH_USER cgi variable, but there are a few issues with this: - It doesn't work on AJAX-heavy sites when the users are on Firefox. - I want a login box that is integrated into my site, rather than the default login dialog box. All I need is a way to make a call to my Domain Controller with the username and password, and it to tell me whether that is a valid user or not. What is the best way to go about doing this? thanks.
