DirectorySearcher working in Local but not working in IIS server

I want to list the all mail list or search a mail id present in my Active directory so I have used the DirectorySearcher like following and working in my local system if I run it via visual studio but not working when I publish or deploy these code to an IIS server.

My C# Code,

[HttpGet]
public JsonResult getADEmail(string query = "")
{
    DirectorySearcher dirSearcher = new DirectorySearcher();
    dirSearcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(objectcategory=person)(mail=" + query + "*))";

    SearchResult srEmail = dirSearcher.FindOne();
    SearchResultCollection SearchResultCollection = dirSearcher.FindAll();
    string propName = "mail";
    ResultPropertyValueCollection valColl = srEmail.Properties[propName];

    List<string> results = new List<string>();
    foreach (SearchResult sr in SearchResultCollection)
    {
        ResultPropertyValueCollection val = sr.Properties[propName];
        results.Add(val[0].ToString());
    }

    return Json(results);
}

Directory Path in my local,

"LDAP://DC=arcadis-nl,DC=local" from (dirSearcher.SearchRoot.Path)  
 The IIS is on another server: 154:139:1:150

Where I did go wrong?What should I do to resolve this issue?.

It seems like a directory permissions problem.Few things to check:

  • Does the user (or machine) that is connecting to the IIS server have permissions to perform the query?

In these kind of scenario , we have to set the identity of the application pool to a user who has access to the directory.

Hope it helps.
