Hi,
We have successfully implemented LDAP authentication on our Portals. We even have web services to take care of password changes and password resets in the AD. However, one thing that is bothering us is how we should be handling the different authentication error messages from the LDAP. For example, suppose a user is not able to logon to the Portal due to an account lockout, the AD is supposed to return a specific message. However, this message seems to be lost on the Portal and the user is only seeing a generic message. Therefore, how should we go about handling the different kinds of messages with regards to
1. account lockouts
2. password for the AD account has expired
3. invalid accounts
Our other systems, which are using the AD web service, do not face this problem since our web service is handling these scenarios and presenting the proper error messages to the users. Any ideas on how the Portal should handle this? Is there a setting or an inherent collection of error messages from Portal that we can use?
Thank You.
