We are looking into developing a security module that all apps in our suite would use. Integration with AD is required. It seems to me that it would be possible to write a driver for AD. Is anyone doing this??
I have no idea how you could read meta-data from AD using ADO.NET, is there a way to do it using ADO.NET? I know you can using LDAP with the most horrifying syntax ever created (after Perl and RegEx's)
I haven't gotten into your internals to know if ADO is the only way to get data. AD is really nothing but a relational dataset. I was hoping there whould be a way to use AD API to generate Entities which would work the same way.
But the inner core of the O/R mapper works with ADO.NET. I'm not sure if there is an ado.net provider for AD, there might be, and if there is, it 's possible.
