Accessing AD user information via C++

Hi,

I am a newbie and I would like to access certain attributes of a user "test" in active directory using C++. I found that this is possible using Visual C++, but I would like to do it with C++. And please provide information on the libraries to be added, where to be added and how to run the code with a C/C++ compiler.

Regards,
