[Mono-list] How to validate user name and password

[Andrew Smith]

Hello,

I'm trying to validate the user name and password for the computer's local
users. I have this working for windows by using the LogonUser API.

[DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
private static extern bool LogonUser(String lpszUsername, String lpszDomain,
String lpszPassword, int dwLogonType, int dwLogonProvider, ref IntPtr
phToken);

I do this so I can get a WindowsIdentity object from the returned token. I
found out that I can get a WindowsIdentity object by using the username as
the token in the WindowsIdentity constructor. This allows my application to
perform what it needs to, but I just need to make sure that the password
provided is correct. Is this something that I would have to end up using
System.DirectoryServices for ?
