I have been using JNDI for Active Directory in managing few of the tasks which can normally be done ADSI.
Now, I am now a way to increase the features in my product and want to incorporate more and more features which are available in ADU&C. To achieve these needed functionalities, I came across a MSDN page which tells that .NET has a library which can help to communicate with Active Directory.
Now, I am in a dilemma. As mentioned, I have been using JNDI in my product, but I believe since Active Directory is MS product and so is .NET, so, the two must have been integrated well and probably been optimized for speed.
So, I want to know
- Is someone having an experience using .NET library for managing Active Directory ?
- If yes, then did you observe some specific speed difference ?
- Did you find anything which is way too difficult to achieve in JNDI, but simple to achieve using .NET library ?
- Any other thoughts that you might have ?
