says a valid user has an invalid name

Question

I have a script that works absolutely perfectly... except that for one user in particular, it says that said user has an invalid user name. I would believe it, but it's MY user name, and I am logged in to Active Directory at the time, and I know the user name is correct. doesn't believe me. Other user names that I've tried all work perfectly, so I don't think it's the script that needs debugging. If I use my perfectly valid user name, CF says it's invalid. Any ideas? By the way, I've tried the LDAP route, but I've given that up: I can't tell whether the scripts are working because every time I try to access anything in LDAP it says that it can't contact the server... but that's a different problem. But I'll take the answer to either problem, if I can get it. Thanks, Robert

It doesn't even get that far; the CGI.AUTH_USER is where I'm trying to get, and before I get there, <cfntauthenticate> returns "UserNotInDirFailure". However, I'm logged in under said user name, so I know it's valid. And no, I'm already using trim() so it's not an "extraneous spaces" problem.

Thanks for trying, though.
