Active Directory Authentication in ASP

I have been attempting to find a script that works in a variety of AD
implementations to authenticate a user from a form in ASP. After many failed
attempts I developed the following test script that seems to work in a
majority of environments I have tested it in.

I am posting it for the benefit of other developers trying to solve the same
problem.

Best regards,

-----------------------------

I have updated the script to make it more generic and work in multiple
domain environments and am posting it here as a resource for other users.
