How do I search for a specific user object in LDAP that has an associated x509 certificate? Do I need to encode it in a certain way? It looks like the attribute is userCertificate based on looking at JXplorer. Note: Accessing Active Directory through LDAP ...

When I run Roles.GetRolesForUser("username") the roles are returned correctly, however if I add a user into a role in AD, the result does not show up until I log the user out of their system, and have them log back in. Is there any way to make the system re-check each time? ...

We migrated a lot of data from our old ordering system. This system stored the users initials in our "Orders" table for each order they created. Now that we have a view that looks at active directory I would like to update those initials with the active directory objectguid (or something that references the guid). This would allow us to ...
Wondering if there's any guidelines that should be followed when writing an application that should work not only on a plain ol' non-networked computer but also on a computer/network that is setup with Active Directory (or some other directory service) and/or Terminal Services? Anything I should look out for, be aware of, etc? ...
This is more of a curiosity than a request for help, but I noticed that when using PrincipalPermission and verifying a user is part of a specific group in Active Directory it will not use the true group name but instead validates against the pre-Windows 2000 group name instead. Ordinarily this wouldn't make a difference - unless someone ...
I am trying to achieve an LDAP query to gather all properties we have about our users without specifying the properties before hand, I would like to display this in a table so used the below code. This works if I uncomment the search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn"); line and will display any other properties I add in the same way but not when...
Is it a good or bad practice to manage active directory groups specific to an application within an application? My development team has written a Sharepoint application that has groups and teams (these are terms unique to the application and is not related to AD groups or Sharepoint groups). Once users are added to these groups and te...

I'm trying to get the Int64 value of a Directory Services object's "uSNChanged" value. Unfortunately, it is always coming back as a COM object of some kind. I've tried using casting to Int64, calling Int64.Parse(), and calling Convert.ToInt64(). None of these work. For a given DirectoryEntry object, this code will display the properties...
I have an application that pulls user information from an OU in Active Directory. The parameters it takes are a base for the search and a filter string. I have an OU I want to pull information from, but there is a sub OU I want to avoid: Wanted: users from OU=People,DC=mydomain,DC=com Not Wanted: users from OU=Evil,OU=People,DC=my...
I'm not a .NET developer, and I have a feeling this would be trivial for someone who is: I have a C# web application that makes user of the user credentials of the logged in user. Currently it uses the SID which comes from System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().User.Value I need to get either the users UPN login or e...
I am looking to have a SharePoint Extranet Portal setup for my "partner" clients. I want to make a site admin for each extranet site for each client. This admin would be able to add new users to the portal AND have that user be created in AD (Active Directory). Has anyone done this or know of a good tool that would provide me that abili...
I need to access the Active Directory data programmatically using a native C++ API because I like C++ and I think it is faster than any .NET programming language. I could not find a C++ API developed by Microsoft, it only has a C one (ADSI) and it is really an awful API. I found a C++ API in open LDAP but it has some errors and it seems ...

Please advise if we can write a C# utility that can search AD using the email of each ...

I want to query my directory for all User objects that don't contain a value for a given attribute... I have kind of hacked it up looking for things without a specific value (the potential assigned values are small, so this mostly worked) - but I would really like to know if there is a way to actually query for the absence of an attribut...
