Hi shiunhan,
Thanks for sharing this information. I think you’re very much interested about connect to OPENLDAP.
To use the example code
* Run the console application, using the following syntax.
ConnectLDAP.exe ldapServer user pwd domain targetOU
1.Specify the arguments, listed in the following table, when calling the console application.
ldapServer
The server name. For example: myDC1.testDom.fabrikam.com
user
The user name. For example: user1
pwd
The password. For example: secret@~1
domain
The Active Directory domain. For example: testDom
targetOU
The target organizational unit (OU). For example: OU=samples,DC=testDom,DC=fabrikam,DC=com
Example:
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.DirectoryServices.Protocols;
using System.Security.Permissions;
namespace ConnectLDAP
{
[DirectoryServicesPermission(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Unrestricted = true)]
public class LDAPConnect
{
// static variables used throughout the example
static LdapConnection ldapConnection;
static string ldapServer;
static NetworkCredential credential;
static string targetOU; // dn of an OU. eg: "OU=sample,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
GetParameters(args); // Get the Command Line parameters
// Create the new LDAP connection
ldapConnection = new LdapConnection(ldapServer);
ldapConnection.Credential = credential;
Console.WriteLine("LdapConnection is created successfully.");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("\r\nUnexpected exception occured:\r\n\t" + e.GetType() + ":" + e.Message);
}
}
static void GetParameters(string[] args)
{
// When running: ConnectLDAP.exe <ldapServer> <user> <pwd> <domain> <targetOU>
if (args.Length != 5)
{
Console.WriteLine("Usage: ConnectLDAP.exe <ldapServer> <user> <pwd> <domain> <targetOU>");
Environment.Exit(-1);// return an error code of -1
}
// test arguments to insure they are valid and secure
// initialize variables
ldapServer = args[0];
credential = new NetworkCredential(args[1], args[2], args[3]);
targetOU = args[4];
}
}
Thanks again,
Abraham
