Hello all
.NET framework System.DirectoryServices classes provide an ability for
user to omit the specification of the LDAP server he wants to connect to
and use a "default" server (actually, default root dsn also) that exists
somewhere on the network. It seems that they try to retrieve rootDSE
information from the domain server.
My proposal for providing the ability for querying rootDSE in our
implementation is to enable user to specify his default server name at
config level (both machine.config and override in app.config).
The section should look like the following :
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="System.DirectoryServices">
<section name="Settings"
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<System.DirectoryServices>
<Settings>
<add key="servername" value="<server name>"/>
<add key="port" value="389"/>
</Settings>
</System.DirectoryServices>
</configuration>
The implementation will retrieve this information if server information
was not provided in user code, cache and use it as a default.
