Is there an API/framework to interface with the SMB/Samba/Windows
networking functionality of OS X? More specifically, I need to:
* Find the Active Directory domain (or Windows workgroup name if not
in an AD network)
* Ensure that the OS X user is authenticated via AD (if available)
As you can probably tell, I'm not too up to date on what Windows can
really do these days or even the details of how they work. I'm
porting a piece of system software from Windows that is very well
integrated with Active Directory and all those management features
that Windows offers and am trying to get the feature level of the OS
X port on an equal footing. I have very little Windows programming
experience, being a Nextstep/Openstep/OS X and Unix developer since
the beginning of days.
I've never used it before, but Apple's API for this is called Open
Directory and, sometimes, Directory Services. Search for those in the
documentation to get started.
Cheers,
Ken
