Validate a username and password against Active Directory?

How can I validate a username and password against Active Directory? I simply want to check if a username and password are correct.

If you work on .NET 3.5 or newer, you can use the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement namespace and easily verify your credentials:

// create a "principal context" - e.g. your domain (could be machine, too)
using(PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "YOURDOMAIN"))
{
    // validate the credentials
    bool isValid = pc.ValidateCredentials("myuser", "mypassword");
}

It's simple, it's reliable, it's 100% C# managed code on your end - what more can you ask for? :-)

Read all about it here:

Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5

MSDN docs on System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement

Update:

As outlined in this other SO question (and its answers), there is an issue with this call possibly returning True for old passwords of a user. Just be aware of this behavior and don't be too surprised if this happens :-) (thanks to @MikeGledhill for pointing this out!)

We do this on our Intranet

You have to use System.DirectoryServices;

Here are the guts of the code

using (DirectoryEntry adsEntry = new DirectoryEntry(path, strAccountId, strPassword))
{
    using (DirectorySearcher adsSearcher = new DirectorySearcher(adsEntry))
    {
        //adsSearcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))";
        adsSearcher.Filter = "(sAMAccountName=" + strAccountId + ")";

        try
        {
            SearchResult adsSearchResult = adsSearcher.FindOne();
            bSucceeded = true;

            strAuthenticatedBy = "Active Directory";
            strError = "User has been authenticated by Active Directory.";
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Failed to authenticate. Most likely it is caused by unknown user
            // id or bad strPassword.
            strError = ex.Message;
        }
        finally
        {
            adsEntry.Close();
        }
    }
}

Several solutions presented here lack the ability to differentiate between a wrong user / password, and a password that needs to be changed. That can be done in the following way:

using System;
using System.DirectoryServices.Protocols;
using System.Net;

namespace ProtocolTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                LdapConnection connection = new LdapConnection("ldap.fabrikam.com");
                NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");
                connection.Credential = credential;
                connection.Bind();
                Console.WriteLine("logged in");
            }
            catch (LdapException lexc)
            {
                String error = lexc.ServerErrorMessage;
                Console.WriteLine(lexc);
            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(exc);
            }
        }
    }
}

If the users password is wrong, or the user doesn't exists, error will contain

"8009030C: LdapErr: DSID-0C0904DC, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db1",

if the users password needs to be changed, it will contain

"8009030C: LdapErr: DSID-0C0904DC, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 773, v1db1"

The lexc.ServerErrorMessage data value is a hex representation of the Win32 Error Code. These are the same error codes which would be returned by otherwise invoking the Win32 LogonUser API call. The list below summarizes a range of common values with hex and decimal values:

525​ user not found ​(1317)
52e​ invalid credentials ​(1326)
530​ not permitted to logon at this time​ (1328)
531​ not permitted to logon at this workstation​ (1329)
532​ password expired ​(1330)
533​ account disabled ​(1331) 
701​ account expired ​(1793)
773​ user must reset password (1907)
775​ user account locked (1909)
