Any ideas on what is causing the attached exception?

After a little time in debug I’ve found that the problem appears to be caused by Active Directory Services being unable to obtain information on a child domain. This prevents any of the users in my domain from accessing my application. I’m not sure just why AD services can’t obtain the information on the other domain but it could be a domain controller or network problem.  Unfortunately I work in an environment with multiple domains and only have control over the local domain. Having SF security depend on what’s going on in those other domains is not a long term solution. To get around the issue for the moment I’ve modified Login.vb as listed below to skip any child domains causing problems. Also the domain structure at the County doesn’t go beyond the first child so I left out the recursive step. At a minimum I’d like to see something like this added to the framework. However an even better solution would be to add the capability to configure what domains should be searched.

Thanks for the heads up on that, Larry.  I'll test that on our network with some of the child domain controlers down and come up with a solid fix.

We're you guys able to reproduce this? The same issue prevented users from logging into an application for a couple of hours yesterday.

I should add that it was an application where I didn't modify the framework to skip a domain if it couldn't be reached.

This issue still exists in v 1.61. Any chance of getting a fix in 1.62?
