Another nice How-To

On Novell Cool-Solutions:

Setting up Novell LDAP Libraries for C#

Another one of those things I went, "Ooh! USEFUL! Oh wait, we don't care any more. Drat. I bet I can blog that, though." So I am.

Use VisualStudio for developing applications (we did)? Need to talk to eDirectory? Why not use LDAP and Novell's tools for doing so! We've used their elderly ActiveX controls to do great things, and this should to about half of what we do with those. File manipulations will need to be another library, though.

Update: And how to set it up to use SSL. It requires Mono.
