How to pull data from Active Directory in ABAP (non-CUA approach)?

[Former Member]

All,

We have a requirement to pull information from AD into a WAS 6.20 system.

I know there is the standard CUA/UME LDAP synchronization discussed at length in this forum but this in not what we are looking for. We would like to connect from an ABAP program (BAPI/RFC) to AD and pull a specific field and store it in a custom table.

I found one thread that describes how to do this with WebDynpro in Java, but this would be our last resort since we wouldn't be able to do that from the actual 6.20 WAS but would have to use another 2004s system which would extend the architecture of the current design.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
