BDC Application definition file for Active Directory

In order to access AD information from BDC, you need to have a web service that exposes AD information. Though I am not 100% sure, I doubt if it is built into the AD. However, you can build your own web service using ADSI or System.DirectoryServices, which is relatively easy to do, and then you can write your application definition on your web service. If you want to access user group or user information stored in Sharepoint, you can check out the post I put up earlier on another thread, but that would be a more challenging exercise.
