I am looking at a scenario wherein we would like to provision (i.e. create) users programmatically into AD from our app. I was wondering if AD offers any kind of SOAP based APIs that can be used for this purpose.
Anyone have experience / information regarding such a scenario?
ADFS doesn’t have any users. Authentication (and “users”) are always in Active Directory. There are many APIs to interact with AD. (e.g. Directory Services)
I’m not aware of a SOAP based API, but you could build one wrapping the API described above. Also, I would look into whether this is really necessary. If the provisioning engine is meant to be run in the same domain (e.g. on-premises) then you would not need SOAP.
