what authorisation is needed?

Hi,

A company build a vbs script for us. This script makes it possible to manage
active directory groups via a webbrowser. So managers can easily adjust
group membership via the webbrowser.
In this script a user has to be "inserted" to "manage" the active directory
groups. If i use my domain admin credentials the script runs fine. Because
of security i don't want the credentials of the domain admin account to be
in this script. The script has to run from a memberserver!

So i thought i will make a simple domain user account in AD and give this
account delegate of control rights on active directory (to manage groups).
Tried this, but the script won't run with these credentials.
The script will query AD with this account, but won't make modifications.
I also had this user given Full control delegation of everything in AD. It
still doesn't work.

Does anyone knows what kind of autorisation i need?

Thx in advance,

Ramon

Re: what authorisation is needed?

I'm not sure about what you would need to delegate, but i do know that
you could have the script ask for the username and password

variblename = inputbox("Please enter your username")

secondvariblename = inputbox("Please enter your password")

the password would show in the textbox though.


it sounds like an ASP script though. the code above would not work in
ASP. You would have to create a html form that sends the credentials
to the script.
