This is a web application that is used to interact with Microsoft’s Active Directory. Users of the application will be able to search for user accounts, create user accounts and add users to groups. The application is currently a work in progress, you can check out the source code of the application at the following git repository hosted on github. Below you will find some of the features of the application:

Create Users

The application will allow you to create and edit users. When creating a user, there are required fields such as first, last name, etc. If one of the required fields is missing, the user will get an error message reporting which fields are missing. In addition, the application allows the user to choose the username to use for the user account being created. But before creating the user account, the application checks to make sure that the user name is unique, if it is not the application will ask the user to choose a different username. See below for the screenshot of the page that allows you to create a user:

Once a user has been created, the user will be taken to the page where you can view the user (this page can also be used to view existing active directory accounts). There are 3 different tabs that allow you to edit the user’’s information.

You can view the existing groups the user belongs to and add new groups to the user:
