Active Directory , Exporting xml as users

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.Ya sure please send me the links.Hope you got a clear picture of the scenario.If i had to use AD (windows 2003 server) then i'll have to make it a domain controller, i want to avoid that and this is for prototyping(testing the process of exporting a set of data in xml to AD,doing crud on AD) so for testing and prototyping i want to make it simple and easy.Waiting for your reply

    You might want to try using ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) which is a cut down version of AD. There are some differences between AD and ADAM but it might allow you to test your code without needing a full Active Directory installation. If you just need a repository of users then you might consider ADAM instead of AD anyway as it is much easier to setup.

    If you need any code or instructions then let me know and ill post some links

    Hi,

    Installing ADAM in my m/c (windows-xp prof) will it interfere with the existing AD of the domain controller

    Adam can coexist happily with AD as long as the port is set to something other than 389 (default LDAP port). How are you planning to load the users into Active Directory as ADAM has a slighly different API and I have had issues with it before.

    Hi,

    Sorry for not responding as i away from work.Ok right now we are on to the stage of deciding the schema.Schema would contain custom information like data related to healthcare information.Im really confused as of now.Could you please help me in understanding how i can treat ADAM as a repository for storing custom/personal data related to an user.

    The Adam schema is sooo confusing.One thing i can understand is about creating Containers and objects but im not sure how i can actually treat ADAM like our SQlServer and enter the field details in a table.

    Please help me in understanding.I have gone thro 100 articles nothing seem to give me an idea as 2 how i can map or treat it like our DB for entering custom data of a heirarchial relational data of an user.
