Using LDAP or ADSI with Delphi to Manage User Accounts

We have a large transaction processing system (batch processing) ERP solution for large organizations involved in processing applications for medicines and businesses. We currently have our own user account management. that is, a user with the appropriate rights / roles can create, edit or delete accounts and assign rights and roles based on needs.

Each user logs on to the system with an assigned account, and access to functions is assigned based on rights and roles.

We were requested by the client, if we support LDAP or Active Directory, whether user accounts were managed on a virtual domain controller, and after logging in, the user then does not need to log in to additional software .... for example, ours.

I was looking at the LDAP protocol and Active Directory service interfaces.

Just curious to know if anyone has experience with this, and what is the best way to approach this transition to support them? I'm particularly worried about whether we need to stop using our account management and login system?

We are currently developing using Delphi 2010 and UNIDAC (for database connections).

thanks

To authenticate a user in AD, you can try using the adsllp library:

There are ways to automate login using this library.
