DirectoryEntry GetDirectoryEntry()

Return value

A directory entry for the service connection point that represents the user’s UNIX profile.

Discussion

The DirectoryEntry object represents the directory object for the user and its associated attributes.

This method can only be used in .NET programs because DirectoryEntry is a .NET-specific class for directory objects. This method cannot be used in COM-based programs.

Exceptions
