I have mojoportal as a intranet using LDAP with Active Directory.  For a feature I am working on for the specific software we use, I need the AD sid of the user that is logged in. Unfortunately, I can't get this information from the software it self (for what ever reason the database only has the SID and does a lookup with AD for the username translation).  As I don't want to fork the code, I am adding the getting of the SID in where I need it.  I have an ascx for a feature.  (For right now I have the data, business, and ui code in the same place).  I have this <%@ Import Namespace="System.DirectoryServices" %>.  The System.DirectoryServices is in the References.  These files are under the mojoPortal.Web project in its own folder.  When I use DirectoryEntry obDirEntry; it says "The type or namespace name 'DirectoryEntry' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".

Any ideas on where to go from here?  I need to get something like "S-1-5-21-3282516150-4032899499-4205601400-2899".

Thank you for any help.

Your control is going to need to be in a custom project using code behind and with a post build event to copy your control up to the Web/yourfeature folder and your dll to the Web/bin folder, and in  your custom project you will need to add a reference to System.DirectoryServices in the references node of the project itself. We have no reference to that in mojoPortal.Web because we have no dependency on it. you will aslo need the using statement as Jamie said but the using statement won't work without first having the reference.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Hi Jonathan, I just pulled up the source code for my User Registered Event Handler that auto-assigns role(s) to newly created AD users. The using statement I have is:

using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;

I hope that helps,
