[Mono-list] Mono LDAP Status

[Jason Raneses]

Any LDAP v2 or v3 compliant directory will be supported.  Active =
Directory
is one of them, among many others (SunOne, formerly iPlanet, OpenLDAP,
Netscape, eDirectory, etc).

You will be able to do anything you can do in the current Microsoft
implementation of the System.DirectoryServices namespace, and as well,
handle low level details if you want; for example, sending custom =
controls
to the server.

I am interested in this as well but have some additional
questions.=20

I currently work heavily with Active Directory. I am
curious what support for Directory Services will Mono
implement. It is my understanding that Active Directory is
a proprietary standard and Microsoft will not allow it to
be copied. I assume that Active Directory will not be
supported.=20

What Directory Services will be supported and how?
