I m developing simple c# based active directory application for testing for client requirement. My client has active directory with admin credentials. Now I want to first authenticate active directory administrator if that is true then I want to check username and password from same active directory.

Answer 1

Please try with this C# lib - Novell.Directory.Ldap

example code (use Admin account to authenticate)

 LdapConnection conn = new LdapConnection();
                conn.Connect(ldapHost, ldapPort);
                conn.Bind(loginAdmin, passwordAdmin);

Then you can manage users in the domain e.g. delete operation

conn.Delete();
