Problem in User authentication.

[sunandank]

Hi,
I have list of doubts. I am new to novell edirectory. My requirement is that i need to validate user with the credentials.
For this below are the steps i did
1. i installed Novell NDS (eDirectory_88SP5_Windows_x32) in Windows Vista.
2. Next i installed Novell Client (Novell Client SP1 for Windows Vista)

Now my vista is configured to Novell N/w. I am able to login thro the Novell User credentials.

Now that i have a application where i create a DirectoryEntry
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://MachineName",
"Administrator", "Welcome123", AuthenticationTypes.SecureSocketsLayer)

DirectorEntry object is not getting created. I have configured ClearTextPort to 8028 and SSL port 8030. Does port number plays a important role in DirectoryEntry object creation?

What should i do for User authentication to work? Please suggest me some solution.

Thanks in advance,
Sunandan K
