Accessing Active Directory in ASP.NET?

Question

I use a console application to write some test code:

    /// 

    /// Returns AD information for a specified userID.
    /// 
    /         


        

Answer 1

If its an intranet application that uses windows authentication, then you can wrap your AD call in a impersonation-context of the user.

Something like:

using (((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).Impersonate())
{
    // Do your AD stuff here
}
