Public Shared Function FindByIdentity (context As PrincipalContext, identityType As IdentityType, identityValue As String) As UserPrincipal

Parameters

context
PrincipalContext

The PrincipalContext that specifies the server or domain against which operations are performed.

identityType
IdentityType

A IdentityType enumeration value that specifies the format of the identityValue parameter.

identityValue
String

The identity of the user principal. This parameter can be any format that is contained in the IdentityType enumeration.

Returns

UserPrincipal

A UserPrincipal object that matches the specified identity value and type, or null if no matches are found.

Examples

The following code connects to the local computer store. Since the credentials are not specified in the PrincipalContext constructor, the credentials of the user running the current thread are used.

A search is performed to find the user who has SamAccountName "Guest".

If the user is found, a check is performed to determine whether this user's account is enabled. If the account is not enabled, the example code enables it.

PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Machine);  

UserPrincipal usr = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx,   
                                           IdentityType.SamAccountName,   
                                           "Guest");  

if(usr != null)  
{  
    if (usr.Enabled == false)  
        usr.Enabled = true;  

    usr.Save();  
    usr.Dispose();  
}  
ctx.Dispose();
