Using PrincipalContext to ValidateCredentials fails with right password after sending many wrong passwords

using (PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, domainName)) { isWindowsAutenticated = pc.ValidateCredentials(username, password);
}

If pass to this code many wrong passwords for a user, then pass in the right password, it still returns false even though the password is definitely correct.

Any suggestions to get around this is appreciated.

It does matter what username you pass in:

  1. joe
  2. domain\joe
  3. [email protected]

MSDN does not specify it but my experience says the first one is the only correct and comparison is case insensitive.
