See if user is part of Active Directory group in C# + Asp.net
.net-3.5, active-directory, active-directory-group, asp.net, c#
Solution
With 3.5 and System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement this is a bit cleaner:
public List<string> GetGroupNames(string userName)
{
var pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
var src = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, userName).GetGroups(pc);
var result = new List<string>();
src.ToList().ForEach(sr => result.Add(sr.SamAccountName));
return result;
}
Problem
I need a way to see if a user is part of an active directory group from my .Net 3.5 asp.net c# application. I am using the standard ldap authentication example off of msdn but I don't really see how to check against a group.
