Does IOS support Active Directory in any way?

Question

I know this a pretty general question and I'm not looking for code or anything. Even a link or short explanation would be nice.. Specifically searching for a way to browse network based active directories from an internal IOS application. Using a cloud or email is not an option.. Possible?

Answer 1

There is a recent article on IBM developerWorks that explains how to use OpenLDAP client libraries in the iOS environment. You can use OpenLDAP client libraries to access LDAP sources, including Active Directory. Not all Active Directory operations are supported, but even basic queries should be sufficient for building a browsing application.
