Hi,
I am trying to authenticate a user against LDAP server and get the information about the user from the server. So far I found ways to Authenticate user by creating a context with the environment variables. But this does not return attributes of this user. So I have to search for this user again and get attributes. Does anybody know any better way of doing it, I am looking for a way to do both in one connection/call/something... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Shobha

I am confident that this is a two part call. First you must get a context. While getting the context you will perform an authentication. Depending on the identification that you authenticate with you may be able to retrieve information. Depending upon the sub-context you are retrieving you may be able get the data you are looking for in a single call.
I am not sure if I helped....
