Simple Login Authentication with ASP and LDAP

I spent hours and hours looking for this. I didn't want anything complicated. I just needed to get the person's username and password and quickly authenticate them against Active Directory.

Nothing complicated.

Nothing involved.

Now, the solution I have here is modified from my specific need.

Here's my solution.

function ldapLogin( user, pass )
  {
    try
      {
        var  obj = GetObject( "LDAP:" );
        obj.OpenDSObject( "LDAP://yourco.local/DC=YOURCO,DC=local", 
                           user + "@yourco.local", 
                           pass, 
                           1 );
        return true;
      }
    catch( e )
      {
        // if it is an error - then the password or user is wrong.
      }
    return false;
  }
