I am attempting to connect to the active directory of a domain controller. Upon calling the WinLDAP method ldap_bind_s with the credentials of the domain administrator and using LDAP_AUTH_NTLM as the authorisation mode, I get the error "invalid credentials".

Microsoft's help on ldap_bind_s states that its third parameter can be a pointer to the SEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY structure, which allows greater control in the way the client binds to the active directory. Unfortunately I cannot find any reference on the web to using the SEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY structure in Delphi.

Does anyone know how to use it with Delphi, or whether it is even available to Delphi developers?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

heres the structure,

For Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 9x, and Apple Macintosh:

typedef struct _SEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY
{
unsigned short __RPC_FAR *User;
unsigned long UserLength;
unsigned short __RPC_FAR *Domain;
unsigned long DomainLength;
unsigned short __RPC_FAR *Password;
unsigned long PasswordLength;
unsigned long Flags;
} SEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY, *PSEC_WINNT_AUTH_IDENTITY;

but im a VC++ developer with no idea of Delphi
