All,
I know there are some true experts out here?
My question is:
I am creating an application that is maintained by a
data base. The database handles Authentication, storing the Users, Groups,
and Device specific information pertaining to those users or groups.
I don't want the users to have to log on to a DC for use of the
application, but I
want to list the users, and groups in the Active Directory for browsing,
status information and replication.
1. (a.) Do I extend the LDAP providers Person Object, as well as the schema
to accomidate the added properties and functionality.
1. (b.)Do I extend the LDAP provider creating a New DN under the rootDSE and
add as OU's the Users, Groups and Devices.
2. Do I write a provider that extend the ADSI Directory to provide the
Objects and functionality of my application. If so, could I then also extend
the LDAP Provider
to access my Provider. Thus giving my application acces from the LDAP
provider as well.
All suggestions are appreciated.
