Good idea. But what 'type' should I make an application object to be ? The choices appear to be : Computer, Contact, User, InetOrgPerson, Query-based distribution Group, MSMQ Queue Alias, Printer, User, Shared Folder etc... > To check if someone has > access to run the app, just have the app read the obejct.

Also, is there a way to retrieve the username and password of the user currently logged into an AD domain ? I ask this, because an app might need this information in order to log into a database etc. Thanks, -Shshank > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sharma, Shshank [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 1:35 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Extending the Active Directory Schema > > > I am thinking about something similar, such as adding attributes like > allowAccessToApplicationX, allowAccessToApplicationY and so > on, for users. > > How easy is doing something like this, anyone ? > > ./Shshank > > -----Original Message----- > From: Pennell, Ronald B.
