I am new to ASP.NET in C#.
Currently I am just fiddling around with a simple web app trying to search by a username and display the AD First and Last name to a table. With absolutely no success.
Since I am so new to this could anybody show me how, or point me to a tutorial/article on how to do so.
Basically this is what I have come down to.
DirectoryEntry myLDAPConnection = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://company.com");
DirectorySearcher dSearch = new DirectorySearcher(myLDAPConnection);
I understand I need to do something with my dSearch object to filter what is returned. But I have no clue what to do beyond this.
Thanks
If you're on .NET 3.5 and up, you should check out the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
(S.DS.AM) namespace. Read all about it here:
Basically, you can define a domain context and easily find users and/or groups in AD:
// set up domain context
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
// find a user
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, "SomeUserName");
if(user != null)
{
// do something here....
}
// find the group in question
GroupPrincipal group = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, "YourGroupNameHere");
// if found....
if (group != null)
{
// iterate over members
foreach (Principal p in group.GetMembers())
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", p.StructuralObjectClass, p.DisplayName);
// do whatever you need to do to those members
}
}
}
The new S.DS.AM makes it really easy to play around with users and groups in AD!
