The following simplified code sample can be used for obtaining a list of all possible properties that are associated with a user's profile in Active Directory. This code would be useful if you're trying to figure out which AD properties you may need to access to get the information you require:
using System.DirectoryServices;
...
try
{
using (DirectoryEntry dirEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://yourOUPath))
{
using (DirectorySearcher dirSearch = new DirectorySearcher(dirEntry))
{
dirSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(sAMaccountname=yourADLoginName))";
SearchResult result = dirSearch.FindOne();
if (result != null)
{
foreach (string propertyName in result.Properties.PropertyNames)
{
Console.WriteLine(propertyName);
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
Likely culprits for issues with this code could be attributed to the following items:
- There could be issues with the structure of the LDAP path
- You may need to specify a DirectoryEntry.Username and DirectoryEntry.Password
- You may need to define a DirectoryEntry.AuthenticationType
