Active Directory

I researched on Active Directory but still don't have a clear cut meaning of it. Can someone help?

Thanks

What is it you want to know?

It holds the domains user accounts and roles that the users belong to.

Hi,

Do you have a code example I can see. I got one, but it is not listing the directories.

I just want to understand the concept of using active directory with application security.

Thank You

You don't need to get heavily involved with AD programming to use role based security in your app.
