Active Directory: How can I bind DirectoryEntry using Guid for object in sub domain with SSL without to input subdomain in path?

[Paul research]

For objects in the same domain, I can bind like this:

DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://<GUID=" + objectguidInSameDomain + ">");

Then can access props like:

de.Properties[someProp].Value

This working with

de.directoryEntry.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure | AuthenticationTypes.SecureSocketsLayer;

too.

An object in the sub domain I can bind the same way by access from parent domain:

new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://<GUID=" + objectguidInSubDomain + ">")


But if I enable

de.directoryEntry.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure | AuthenticationTypes.SecureSocketsLayer;

and then try to access properties then I get an error.

If I add the subdomain to the path, then it works again:

new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://sub/<GUID=" + objectguidInSubDomain + ">")


Question: Why do the same path works for LDAP, but not for SLDAP? Do I have anyway to put subdomain or DC to the path if I access sub domains with SLDAP using a guid or is there are a workaround?


Thank you in advance!
