Thank you Albert.
I am at the investigation stage right now. Since my application is
hosted I will probably need to use a secure ldap port.
I was wondering if there is a standard EOModel for AD? Wouldn't want a
custom EOModel for each implementation as
I will only need the basics, name, email, phone, etc.

Active Directory is basically just LDAP with some quirks. You can
query LDAP data sources by using the standard Java JNDI methods, or
with webobjects you can create a JNDI based EOModel. If you create an
EOModel most user information can be mapped from organizationalPerson.
The standard LDAP port Active directory uses is 389, if you need this
to be secure you will want to use secure ldap (port 636 i think). I
think there is some configuration and certificate setup that needs to
happen to run secure ldap. I have several applications that query
Active Directory for user information using the JNDI EOModel. I am
not an expert in this area, but if you have more specifics you want to
know about I will try to answer.
Here is an Example EOModel JNDI Connection Dictionary, not a
production example, but you get the idea:
com.mycompany.connectionDictionary.ActiveDirectory = { \
authenticationMethod = Simple; \
initialContextFactory = "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"; \
password = "myPassword"; \
plugInClassName = "com.webobjects.jndiadaptor.LDAPPlugIn"; \
scope = Subtree; \
serverUrl =
"ldap://192.168.0.1:389/OU=MyUsers,DC=mycompany,DC=com";; \
timeout = 3600; \
username = "CN=Albert
Jagnow,OU=MyDepartment,OU=MyUsers,DC=mycompany,DC=com"; \
}

Hello -
I don't know much about Active Directory, and have a request for my
application to query for the user profiles, etc., We are a hosted
application
so could this be done via SSL, etc.,?
Again I know very little about Active Directory so as much info as
possible
would be great.
