Hi there, I've been given a task to build services which act as LDAP client across multiple vendors (OpenLDAP & ActiveDirectory to begin with). Basically, others are free to call these services with basic queries to get all users/groups etc.
I'm looking for guidance on following points. 1.) How do you recommend on implementing paging functionality? I see this post on SO and doesn't seem straight forward because of lack of support from LDAP. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7679556/in-net-4-0-can-directorysearch-return-ldap-results-in-a-way-that-allows-me-to 2.) I've to build an "authentication" functionality as well. This should also support Simple, Digest & NTLM auth schemes. What's the best way of going about it? I'm currently using LdapConnectionTemplate.authenticate <http://directory.apache.org/api/gen-docs/1.0.0-M23/apidocs/org/apache/directory/ldap/client/template/LdapConnectionTemplate.html#authenticate(org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.name.Dn, char[])>. How do I develop support for other auth mechanisms? Appreciate your help on this. -- Thanks, Prabhjot
