Summary:

• search for AD users using LDAP
• view details of a selected AD user using LDAP
• allow AD user’s to edit only their own AD contact details using LDAP

Before using any of these components, you will need to know your LDAP connection string, username and password. Once the components have been added to your Sharepoint site as web parts, you will need to ‘Modify the web part’, to add the connection details.

Once downloaded, copy each dll into the global assembly cache on your Sharepoint server(C:\Windows\Assembley). Right click on the assembly in the GAC to retrieve the ‘Public Key Token’ from the properties.

Add the following entries to the web.config file of your Sharepoint site (change the public key tokens if necessary):

SafeControl Assembly="ActiveDirectorySearch, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=81cbcca0d610705b"
Namespace="Kushel.Com.WSSADSearch" TypeName="*" Safe="True"

SafeControl Assembly="ActiveDirectoryUserProfile, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b5bf2e0d7a1500e2"
Namespace="Kushel.Com.WSSADUserProfile" TypeName="*" Safe="True"

SafeControl Assembly="ActiveDirectoryEditUserProfile, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4a6f057aa1895b65"
Namespace="Kushel.Com.WSSADEditUserProfile" TypeName="*" Safe="True"

Please note, these components are very simple and not excessively configurable. If you need help in using them, or want the code to expand on yourself, please add a comment below (and if you have twitter, please hit the tweet button at the start of the article).

gives you: Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error

If you come across this error when attempting to add an assembly (such as a Sharepoint Web Part) to your Global Assembly Cache (GAC), one possibility could be that you are not using the GACUtil utility for the correct .Net Framework version you need (check the path to your GACUtil utility).

If the above is true, install the .Net Framework Software Development Kit (SDK) for the .Net Framework version you require, then use the GACUtil that comes with this.

(I was attempting to use GACUtil from my .Net Framework 1.14.. directory. There was no other GACUtil on my system. My default .Net Framework was v2.0 – downloaded Framework 2.0 sdk and bang, used the GACUtil that came with this successfully).
