Outlook & MDaemon connector

[water]

I would let the user enter the password into the password field of MDaemon and press "OK" himself.

water- is there any way to have the password be validated with a function within the script? I got a password input box to pop up and have the user type in their password but I was curious if you knew of a way to have the password be validated with AD before the script continued just in case the user typed in their password wrong the script would make them type it again until they got it correct and then continue on.

thanks!

Yes you can.

It's not very elegant but use something like:

$iResult = _AD_Open($sUserId, $sPassword)
if $iResult <> 1 then
  MsgBox(0,"","Error validating userid/Password: " & @error)
Else
  _AD_Close()
Endif

To get detailed information if @error > 8 (only on Windows Vista and later) you have to call _AD_GetLastADSIError.
