I'm afraid you'll have to try and see whether it works. My AD knowledge is rudimentary, but I've seen several LDAP tools successfully used in AD environments to query the network for membership. Since AD is Microsoft-specific extensions to LDAP (and other open protocols), you may need to jump through extra hoops, such as escaping forward slashes in DNs: <https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/ADSI>. > If so, is there a chance that it will be ported from Chicken-4 to Chicken-5? I've Cc'd the current maintainer of the egg. In case it's dormant, porting and taking over its maintenance shouldn't be too hard due to the low complexity of the code. Vasilij
