Directory Services Wrapper Description

A program to authenticate with the directory service used by Mac OS X Directory Services Wrapper is a program to authenticate with the directory service used by Mac OS X.Mac OS X uses the Directory Service for user authentication and more. The service can be configured to communicate with an Active Directory installation or a LDAP installation to get user information.There is also a framework to get access to the functionality of this service. So far so good. Unfortunately this framework is a very very very low level framework and for whatever reason it has some very strange naming conventions for functions and data structures.Searchlight authenticates a user through a Ruby on Rails application to give the user the correct Spotlight results. So I needed the help of Directory Services which cost me a lot of time.That’s one of the problems when you have to deal with a not so hype framework. It does not have as much documentation, sample code, tutorials like those cool image, animation and other stuff. Here are some key features of "Directory Services Wrapper": · get access to a value in a specific node of Directory Services · authenticate a user by username and password · get basic information (real name, admin y/n, uid, …) about an user · find out if a given user is allowed to access a specific file Requirements: · Xcode
