Active Directory and Java

[Tom Ewall]

We currently manage application security through database tables and
are considering switching to using LDAP, specifically Microsoft's
Active Directory.

I'm assuming there are java API's for doing the LDAP queries, but am
having trouble finding information. Any help would be appreciated.
(I'm looking primarily for links, but any code snipets would be great
too)

IIRC, JNDI is supposed to be a general purpose directory service api
that can be used as an interface to other services such as LDAP.

I'm using the Novell libraries from
http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ldap-index.htm

There are links on that page for download, the docs and sample code.

There are, see the JNDI libraries and interfaces. You may obtain
contexts to LDAP directories through an ldap: URL naming scheme. MSAD
works (though has it's own intracacies as all MS products seem to).
