I need to authenticate application with is developed C++ and Sever has Active Directory , And before going to Start the application . I need to test user credentials information with Active Directory .
Try looking at the documentation for winbind, which is a windows domain interface that comes with Samba. Using winbind you can attach a machine to an AD domain and use AD authentication for logins. Note that you can get a pam module for winbind (pam_winbind) so you could possibly use libpam.
You may also want to look into the MIT Kerberos V5 library.
