Using Active Directory groups in my code...

[Derek Martin]

Hey everyone. I am designing a new application that has a need for several
different permission sets, ie., which functions of the app are turned on
based on who you are. I would like to reference active directory groups for
these permissions instead of using some contrived login/logout system and
storing permission sets. This would require me to both reference AD groups
for users and get the user's currently logged in information.

Anyone know where I can get some info on doing this on MSDN or have any code
snippits to assist? I am using VB.Net 2K3.

Thanks!
Derek

Derek,

It is using LDAP, not easy to find on MSDN,

Here a page

Maybe you can use that for a start
