| Directory Services |
[This documentation is preliminary and subject to change.]
The following table lists the differences in the System.DirectoryServices programming elements when you use them to program for ADAM. For more information about the programming element, click the element name.
| Programming element | Difference |
|---|---|
| ADS_OPTION_ENUM enumeration | Two values, ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_PORTNUMBER
and ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_METHOD,
added to facilitate the setting of passwords.
Note To use these elements, you must use the DirectoryEntry.Invoke method. For more information, see Invoking ADSI. |
| ADS_PASSWORD_ENCODING_ENUM enumeration | Enumeration added to facilitate the setting of passwords.
Note To use this element, you must use the DirectoryEntry.Invoke method. For more information, see Invoking ADSI. |
| DirectoryEntry class | Path property includes a port number to specify an ADAM instance. For more information, see LDAP ADsPath. |
| IADsUser::ChangePassword and IADsUser::SetPassword methods | Before using these methods, you must use the IADsObjectOptions::SetOption
method to set port number (ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_PORTNUMBER)
and method (ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_METHOD).
Note To use these elements, you must use the DirectoryEntry.Invoke method. For more information, see Invoking ADSI. |
| IADsAccessControlEntry::get_Trustee and IADsAccessControlEntry::put_Trustee methods | ADAM security principal names use a string security identifier
(SID) rather than a friendly name.
Note System.DirectoryServices does not support the IADsAccessControlEntry interface as well as the IADsAccessControList and IADsSecurityDescriptor interfaces. You must use COM Interop to access these interfaces. |
| Miscellaneous | The WinNT, NDS, and NWCOMPAT providers do not apply for ADAM. |
