Re: Simultaneous Authentications?

[Eric N. <eni...@cp...>]

Actually you've amost got the code  Here's some pseudo:

New LDAP Object to make TCP/IP connection (1)
Authenticate (1)
New LDAP Object to make TCP/IP connection (2)
Authenticate (2)

It hangs at authenticate 2.

Yes the server supports simultaneous auths/binds etc.  (Active Directory).
Thanks
Eric
