Does anyone know of a good wrapper for the Windows ADSI libraries for Java?
(I'm trying to avoid writing my own in JNA - and I'd like to use something standard.)
A:
Not much in the way of well-supported libraries for ADSI-java exists out there.
If you want support and the substance of what you're trying to achieve - then Spring's Acegi library will assist your active directory authentication of your web-app: http://www.acegisecurity.org/
If you want an active directory authentication for your web service - then try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/325637/secure-java-soap-web-service-active-directory-authentication-trust (again a Spring security based solution)
To purely wrap the ADSI library itself - you could use JNA: https://jna.dev.java.net/
Other implementations out there include:
- Doing it via JNI (http://www.isocra.com/2005/05/adsi-from-java/) although trying to do this instead of JNA would be a waste of your time
- As an alternative to JNA - you might try this library: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohsuke/archive/2008/01/updates%5Fon%5Fcom4.html
