Can I use active directory to validate users?

Hi WillyWad

Thanks for the link. 

I will have a deeper look intot the teststand api with CVI to look for those functions.

So i found a solution and created my own method.

I took the FrontendCallback which is shipped with teststand and i modified it to allow for my own active directory function to validate the user.

I then add the user to teststand and set the current user to the recently created user using the Teststand API. That way teststand works like it would of with the older user login method (FrontendCallback ).

I add the my modified login (FrontendCallback) to C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2013\Components\Callbacks\FrontEnd. 

I have attached the modified project as CVI is not so well documented and the Support for it is not good at all compared to Labview.in the example replace the able location file and were ever "your domain" is in the project add your current domain. ldap does not support " ." (full stop) in the search function domain so use dc= if you need to use a full stop.

Project was created with Labwindows/CVI 2013 

If this helps anyone please let me know.

Kind Regards
