Active Directory with Entity Data Model

Question

Has anyone been able to get access to Active Directory using Entity Data Model?. I read about "LINQ to Active Directory" but it is using outdated LINQ to SQL. And most of the examples I searched through Google reference this Codeplex wrapper. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Answer 1

I found something called Linq to Active Directory on codeplex, which is using LDAP instead of any Linq to SQL mapper. Because Active Directory is based on LDAP rather than SQL I doubt there is a solution using Entity Framework. You shouldn't dismiss this project, since mapping queries to LDAP queries isn't easy and this library seems to do a pretty good job at it.

Is there an Active Directory access provided using a SQL database? I've never heard of it, which doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, but when talking to AD, LDAP is the way to go.
