Question

I tried binding ADAM with

DirectoryContext adamContext = new DirectoryContext();

To use

ActiveDirectorySchema schema = ActiveDirectorySchema.GetSchema(adamContext);

In this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb267453.aspx
Unfortunately DirectoryContext needs 3 values which are the server name, userID and pw.

I only have a Card that I use to authenticate into the network. Is there any alternative or workaround to using DirectoryContext to bind with ADAM?

Answer 1

I wouldn’t expect you to need to provide a username and password explicitly, as long as the ADAM server is in the same domain where you’ve logged on.

This code works for me:

var context = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.DirectoryServer, "server:389");
var schema = ActiveDirectorySchema.GetSchema(context);

Have you confirmed that the user account you are running under as been granted permissions on the ADAM server? If you’re not sure, let me know and I can find a link to help you.
