LDAP Setup 1

[jbrown23]

Do anyone know if LDAP is setup on a windows 2000 server by default? If so how do I configure it?

LDAP as in Active Directory??
if that is what you mean, No.
you type dcpromo at command prompt to install it.

Yes, I want to use ldap to read active directory

 

[aftertaf]

when you install active directory on a server, it becomes a domain controller.....

are you wanting to create a domain controller, or read another type of ldap compliant directory??
what do you actually need?

jbrown23,

Are you wanting to run LDAP queries against the AD database ? If so, yes, Active Directory IS a LDAP complient directory. So if you write code using ADSI or WHS (i use these two) or other scripting languages, and pass in a LDAP query, it will return the data you request..

I want to use ldap to run queries against AD database. I am trying to query for email addresses. How do I return the requested information back to user or server. I have fire wall that support ldap.

so you want to validate an email address (possibly inbound) against the AD database before passing it through the firewall ? are you writing code or wiring up and existing service to do this ?
