Hello, everyone

My web application is multi-tenant and each client requires that its users log in to the application with authentication of their respective LDAP (Windows Active Directory) servers. How to programmatically connect to a remote LDAP server and extract information from that server?

The Appeon Xcelerator plug-in cannot be loaded

Hi, Chris. You're very kind in responding promptly.



Just a question: Where in the code are the connection parameters to the LDAP server (such as host, port, credentials, etc.) obtained and processed?

Hi Miguel. Sorry for the slow response as I was on vacation last week & missed your reply. In my implementation. Those aspects were all handled from the Web Service as IIS required "elevated" privileges to access the AD. Something that normal EXE's would not normally be allowed to do when enhanced AD security is being used. The PB and/or PowerServer Web App's provided the local MS-Windows AD settings (using the MS-Windows built-in AD's API0 and then that base AD information was then passed to the WS for further processing.
