Examples
The following example demonstrates the Username and Password properties of the DirectoryEntry class. This example gets the user-specified DirectoryEntry and the Path of all its Children.
Dim myADSPath As String = _
"LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"
' Create an Instance of DirectoryEntry.
Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath)
myDirectoryEntry.Username = UserName
myDirectoryEntry.Password = SecurelyStoredPassword
' Get the Child ADS objects.
Console.WriteLine("The Child ADS objects are:")
Dim myChildDirectoryEntry As DirectoryEntry
For Each myChildDirectoryEntry In myDirectoryEntry.Children
Console.WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry.Path)
Next myChildDirectoryEntry
String myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";
// Create an Instance of DirectoryEntry.
DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath);
myDirectoryEntry.Username = UserName;
myDirectoryEntry.Password = SecurelyStoredPassword;
// Get the Child ADS objects.
Console.WriteLine("The Child ADS objects are:");
foreach(DirectoryEntry myChildDirectoryEntry in myDirectoryEntry.Children)
Console.WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry.Path);
String^ myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";
// Create an Instance of DirectoryEntry.
DirectoryEntry^ myDirectoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath);
myDirectoryEntry->Username = UserName;
myDirectoryEntry->Password = SecurelyStoredPassword;
// Get the Child ADS objects.
Console::WriteLine("The Child ADS objects are:");
Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = myDirectoryEntry->Children->GetEnumerator();
while (myEnum->MoveNext())
{
DirectoryEntry^ myChildDirectoryEntry = safe_cast<DirectoryEntry^>(myEnum->Current);
Console::WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry->Path);
}
Remarks
You can set the Username and Password in order to specify alternate credentials with which to access the information in Active Directory Domain Services. Any other DirectoryEntry objects retrieved from this instance (for example, through Children) are automatically created with the same alternate credentials.
