ASP and LDAP

[Jayashree Iyer]

Hi,
Im trying to run an LDAP script from an ASP page. I know very little
about LDAP, and just based on some sample code I found on the
internet, I got the following:
<%
Set Conn=CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Provider="ADSDSOObject"
Conn.Open("ADs Provider")
Set rs=Conn.Execute("ldifde -f UsersFile.ldf -p Subtree -r
\"(&(objectClass=user)(showinaddressbook=CN=Glo bal Address
List,OU=Microsoft Exchange,OU=CMC,OU=D-corp,OU=Organizations,DC=d-corp,DC=corp))\"")
Do While Not rs.EOF
ReturnValue=rs.Fields(0)
Response.Write ReturnValue&"<BR>"
%>

Obviously, it does not work !! If someone can help me with what
direction I should be proceeding in to change the code so that it
works?
Is it because I havent specified the server name or something, or is
it because I cant execute an LDAP command like ldifde in such a
straightforward manner and I need to change that?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jayashree

What is the code supposed to do, and how do you know it's not working ???

I've personally found LDAP to be the most poorly-documented technology in
msdn. I could never figure it out, aside from returning basic information
about users and groups - but using WSH, not ASP.
