I searched over internet but all the same problem was by using Linux/MAC no information with Windows.

Hey @dnomar , were you able to get passed this problem by any chance? I'm running into it as well. Works fine when running on Windows outside of docker. When containerized, I receive the same error as you.

Thanks.

No, i use an alternative server with iis/.net framework instead and it works. This library does no work if your docker runs over linux or mac is only for windows.

@terrajobst is this related to #14734?

[iinuwa]

System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement is only supported on Windows. As you noticed, you will get this error when trying to run on Linux, which includes running Linux containers using Docker for Windows.

To track S.DS.AM support for Linux, see #37100.

@joeloff, this can probably be closed as a duplicate of that issue.

I am getting same error while debugging:
"System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement is not supported on this platform."
I am running on Windows. I am targetting
<TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
and I use
<PackageReference Include="System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement" Version="7.0.0" />
package.
I could not find anything that has S.DS.AM in my bin folder.
Can you please advice how to fix this error?

I am getting same error while debugging:
"System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement is not supported on this platform."
I am running on Windows. I am targetting
net6.0-windows

@Turhan8 I don't think your TFM targeting windows matters, the message suggests somehow your app running on non-windows. Anyway tagging @joperezr @BRDPM @grubioe @jay98014 if they have any suggestion for you.

I could not find anything that has S.DS.AM in my bin folder.

What happens when you run: dotnet add package System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement --version 7.0.0

Does anyone know of any libraries that do support LDAP queries from mac? I had the impression s.ds.protocols did but that gives me a non supported exception also when I try to do a LdapConnection.Bind()

Clarification. I can bind using a NetworkCredential and AuthType.Basic. I'm new to Mac so I don't know the limitations. I know we have some kind of corporate binding on our Mac devices and I can connet to AD SMB shares and visit IIS websites that are using Windows Auth. without being prompted for creds so I'm trying to do similiar. I don't want to have to ask my users to enter their creds unless absolutely needed.
