Re: [Mono-list] Need to query Active Directory groups from linux
Hi, Active Directory supports LDAP so it may be possible to query it using the Novell.Directory.Ldap classes. I use them to authenticate against AD not sure how much info can be obtained it may depend on how AD is configured. I've seen cases where querying was only allowed if the thread executing the query is executing in the context of an AD user who has permission to query. There are also a codeplex project http://www.codeplex.com/LINQtoAD I'm not sure if it can run on Mono. It relies on System.DirectoryInfo, I'm not sure if the Mono stuff in that namespace works or works as well as the Novell.Directory stuff. Hope it helps, Joe On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 6:18 PM, neibyjneiber...@gmail.com wrote: Anyone? I just need to know if I'm on the right track.
