PO.net mvc integrating with Active Directory and using a data model to access System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
text
Body
copied!<p>I am building an Intranet application and I am using Windows authentication. I have this setup and working and I am able to see the current users username via @Context.User.Identity.Name</p> <p>I would like to query the Active Directory to retrieve the Display Name, email address, etc.</p> <p>I have looked at System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement and from this have created a basic example. I am not clear though on how to display this information throughout my application.</p> <p>What I have so far is as follows:</p> <pre><code>public class searchAD { // Establish Domain Context PrincipalContext domainContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain); public searchAD() { // find the user UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name); if (user != null) { var userGuid = user.Guid; var DisplayName = user.DisplayName; var GivenName = user.GivenName; var EmailAddress = user.EmailAddress; } } } </code></pre> <p>I am assuming I need to create a ViewModel like so?</p> <pre><code>public class domainContext { public Nullable<Guid> userGuid { get; set; } public string DisplayName { get; set; } public string GivenName { get; set; } public string EmailAddress { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>I want to be able to access this information in various sections of the application.</p> <p>I am not getting any errors just seem to be missing something that ties all this together.</p>

Querying!
