Re: ADAM

It should work fine. Since simple bind is actually defined in the LDAP
spec, every LDAP client library supports it. As long as you can bind with
an ADAM user, you should have no problem executing a query from Unix.

The only times you generally have problems querying AD or ADAM with non-MS
LDAP stacks are when you need to use a feature that the stack doesn't
support well. Windows secure (GSS-SPNEGO using negotiate authentication) is
a typical problem, but people also run into problems with APIs that don't
support the paged search control and will sometimes have issues if they
attempt to read and modify Windows security descriptors (pretty uncommon).

For doing simple queries of small result sets using simple bind, that should
be cake.

Hi,
I have an application running on a Unix server and I have an ADAM server.
Can I retrieve the information of the objects in ADAM usind LDAP queries
from
the unix server through a simple bind? Are there any foreseen issues?

Thanks,
Gib
