So I have a question I'm honestly not quite sure how to ask. Essentially I have a bit of code that works fantastically on my local machine when I run it. Once I publish it to our development web server, it fails. I'm not sure if it's an IIS setup issue, web.config issue or a coding issue.
Here's the snippet of code
bool isMember = false;
PrincipalContext ADDomain = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ADDomain, userID);
if (user.IsMemberOf(ADDomain, IdentityType.Name, groupName.Trim()))
{
isMember = true;
}
return isMember;
Where I pass in a user name and a group and it tells me if that user’s a member in that group. No problem. Works great on my machine. I went to publish that code to the webserver and it fails when it hits the line
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ADDomain, userID);
it throws this error:
[DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072020): An operations error occurred.]

Any ideas where this could be failing?
