    Administrators Only?

    We've purchased the LDAP Active-X control. We run a program called Vasont that can make use of this control to authenticate users via our LDAP server. So we are going through the process of trying to get this new LDAP authentication functionality running on our Development server. One wrinkle in all of this is that our users run the Vasont application in a Citrix environment.

    So, our server administrator installed the Active-X control. He then went through the process of configuring Vasont to use that control for authentication. He can attach to the server via his Citrix session and run Vasont just fine (LDAP authentication happens via the control). When I try to run it, though, I immediately get an error from Vasont that says it couldn't attach to our LDAP server to begin the authentication process.

    After much stumbling around, I had our server administrator place my account in that server's Administrators group (because, presumably, that was a difference between his account and mine). Sure enough, I can now log into our Vasont application using Citrix and successfully authenticate via our LDAP server.

    So, we believe that the Active-X control we installed isn't allowed to be run by all users on the server. When installing your control, the server administrator *did* check off "Everyone" when asked who would be running the application.

    Have you seen this behavior before? Do you have any ideas on what we might do to configure our server so as to allow all users to run the active-x control?

    Thank you in advance for your time and attention!

    Could you check the effective permissions on axldap3.dll and see if you have rights to read it?

    This is the response that I received back from the I.T. support person working on the server:

    I checked the permission on the said file and even gave 'Full Control' to all the users concerned to that file.

    The rights already given were 'Read' and 'Read & Execute'.

    Next, I checked with Jason if he could log in because Jason is also a user in the application and he is not an Admin.

    But, it still gives the same error. Alas!
