Experience rapid, secure, and flexible LDAP integration with the Nodinite LDAP Adapter for Microsoft BizTalk Server. This page introduces the adapter's unique features, licensing, and installation, empowering you to accelerate your integration projects and maximize value.

✅ Perform set-oriented CRUD and Upsert operations—no orchestration logic required
✅ Extensive documentation, examples, and a Windows Forms-based Test Client
✅ Multiple credential options: context properties, SSO, explicit send port, or default service account
✅ Batch operations, full traceability, and robust error handling
✅ Secure, encrypted communication and reusable XSLT transformations

Release Notes

Use a set-oriented approach (like SQL) to perform CRUD operations and more on most of your LDAP Services (examples are mainly provided for Active Directory and sometimes for DIRX). The Adapter supports the LDAP protocol and works also with ADAM/LDS and potentially many more.

Key Features & Capabilities

The Nodinite LDAP Adapter for Microsoft BizTalk Server delivers enterprise-grade directory integration with these powerful capabilities:

Operations & Processing

  • Set-Oriented Operations: CRUD and Upsert operations using a SQL-like approach—no orchestration logic required
  • Batch Processing: Execute multiple operations within a single command for maximum efficiency
  • 37 LDAP Operations: Comprehensive support for User Management, Group Management, OU Management, Schema Management, and AD Management
  • Transaction Support: MSDTC transactions with configurable scope and timeout

Testing & Validation

  • Test Client: Windows Forms-based client for early LDAP command testing—test before you code
    • Validate commands before developing BizTalk artifacts
    • Test SSO Application configurations
    • Execute XSLT transformations
  • Safeguards: Features like expectedMatchCount prevent accidental mass updates or deletes

Security & Credentials

  • Flexible Connection Options: Four credential methods with priority order:
    1. Context properties for dynamic runtime control
    2. SSO Application for password-free deployments
    3. Explicit send port configuration
    4. Default service account (automatic domain detection)
  • Secure Communication: LDAPS support with SSL/TLS encryption
  • Enterprise SSO Integration: Centralized credential management for multi-node environments

Developer Experience

  • Extensive Documentation: Comprehensive examples and LDAP Developer Guide for rapid development
  • Fault Tolerance: Detailed error explanations and coded exception handling
  • Full Traceability: See data before and after operations—crucial for large batch operations
  • XSLT Support: Apply custom transformations to responses without deploying Visual Studio artifacts
  • Port-to-Port Solutions: Enable maximum performance with minimal resource usage

Integration & Compatibility

  • Cross-Platform Reuse: XSLT transformations work with Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Node.js, Java, MuleSoft, IBM IIB, WSO2, Boomi, and more

  • Coded error/exception handling—control runtime behavior and reduce orchestration complexity
  • Supports secure, encrypted communication
  • Custom XSLT can be applied to the response—no need to create or deploy Visual Studio artifacts
  • Enables port-to-port solutions for maximum performance and minimal resource usage
  • Safeguards like expectedMatchCount help prevent accidental mass updates or deletes

The Nodinite LDAP Adapter for Microsoft BizTalk Server shares code with the Nodinite LDAP Web API. XSLT transformations you write for BizTalk can be reused in other platforms (Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Node.js, Java, MuleSoft, IBM IIB, WSO2, Boomi, etc.).

The LDAP Developer Guide provides comprehensive operation documentation including User Management, Group Management, OU Management, Schema Management, and AD Management. All examples and message schemas work with both the BizTalk LDAP Adapter and LDAP Web API.
