Responding to LDAP queries in a .NET Server

Question

I am looking for a small sample demonstrating how to respond to incoming LDAP queries.

Is there any such sample available that would demonstrate such thing? Is there functionality built in the .NET Framework library?

I installed AD LDS and tested it. Now I would like to write a similar server that speaks LDAP. Nothing fancy or full fledged like AD LDS, just listens on ports, replies to request. I am looking for samples to start with that — gyurisc

If your LDAP client requires a full server installation, OpenLDAP might be satisfactory. If the client can be tested with an in-memory server (which will not require a full server installation yet provides a fully-functional LDAP server installation), use the in-memory server provided by the UnboundID LDAP SDK.

Hi Terry, Do you have experience with the UnboundID LDAP SDK? Is it suitable to create custom LDAP servers?

The in-memory directory server creates a directory server running in a JVM as noted in the blog entry (link in my answer above).

thanks for the reply. I accepted your answer! I will try to port this to .NET

The link in the blog post to the source code seems to be broken!

Thank you, it was broken. I corrected the link to the sample code for the in-memory directory server.
