Hi,
We have Active Directory Infrastructure with Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and Windows 2012 Domain Controllers. We have got many Asp.Net applications which are doing LDAP Authentication with these Domain Controllers. Some of the applications are not able to
authenticate users against Active Directory.
Most of the application servers are not added to Domain and are in workgroup. These servers are still using LDAP authentication against AD.
We were comparing the application which is working fine and the one which is not working. Both the servers are in workgroup and using same code.
I need to know can we have LDAP authentication without joining the server to domain. As per my understanding we can connect and but one Domain user account is required for LDAP bind and authentication. As per application team they have not used any Domain user account for LDAP binding. I am not sure whether it is possible because in Windows 2003 and above anonymous bind is disabled by default.
Is there a way to track whether any Domain user account is used for authentication.
