(Collection of LDAPs)
foreach (string str in findBase)
{
DirectoryEntry myLdapConnection = createDirectoryEntry(str);
// create search object which operates on LDAP connection object
// and set search object to only find the user specified
DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(myLdapConnection);
search.Filter = "(cn=" + userName + ")";
SearchResult result = search.FindOne();
if (result != null)
{
if (result.Properties["c"].Count > 0)
userDetails.Add(result.Properties["c"][0].ToString());
else
userDetails.Add("");
if (result.Properties["l"].Count > 0)
userDetails.Add(result.Properties["l"][0].ToString());
else
userDetails.Add("");
break;
}
// else Console.WriteLine("User not found!" +i.ToString());
}
return userDetails;
public DirectoryEntry createDirectoryEntry(string findBase)
{
// create and return new LDAP connection with desired settings
DirectoryEntry ldapConnection = new DirectoryEntry(findBase, "corp\\NA-Service", "0ZLXXXGKXXX");
ldapConnection.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure;

}
