In my Cocoa app how can I get the current user's domain when they're
logged in via Active Directory?
I need to determine two things:
1. If the current user is logged on to an Active Directory domain
(only need to handle Active Directory).
2. If 1, the domain of the user.
I've found references to Directory Services and the Open Directory
Programming Guide but the latter is 10.6 only (I must support 10.5+)
and I could not find any examples for the former that gave me an idea
of what I needed to do.
Somebody recommended dsconfigad -show to me, which works to tell if
the computer is bound to a domain, but now I need to figure out if the
currently logged in user is a local or a domain user.
It is okay if this requires Administrator access to the machine, but
it cannot require admin access to the domain.
Thanks.
