The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is the standard Java API for multiple naming and directory services such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Active Directory is a group of network services like account authentication and it supports LDAP. Therefore, you can write a Java program using JNDI in order to obtain the account credentials in the Active Directory of a Windows Server. Here comes the example.

黃萬里 – 永遠講真話的人
黃萬里（1911—2001），清華大學水利系教授，著名水利工程專家。父親黃炎培是中國著名的教育家、政治家和詩人，中共建政後官至全國人大副委員長。黃萬里1934年赴美留學，1937年歸國，自此傾畢生心力於大江大河治理。半個多世紀以來，他以學識淵博、觀點獨到而蜚聲中外，更以敢講真話、仗義執言而在學界獨樹一幟。
黃萬里去世時，他的女兒說他是一個永遠講真話的人，為講真話，他可以不顧時局變化、切身利害。而他的一個學生也說，在中國水利學界，黃萬里代表了科學家的良心。
黃萬里兩次反對中國的重大水利工程：三門峽而三峽，前者已經得到驗證——證明他說的是對的，而後者還有待觀察。儘管黃萬里反對的聲音是尖銳的、刺耳的，但他的存在，代表了另一種聲音的存在，而這種聲音正是最缺乏的聲音。

陳雲 – 保衛大粵語
我是客家人，憂心客家話失傳，但我熱愛粵語。保衞粵語，固可從政治平權、從文化權利去講，但保衞粵語、保育粵語，更應從中文保育來講。
粵語保存中華雅言，珍如拱璧，即使粵語不是有一億人講（實際數字），只有幾百人講，也要保育，也要在學校傳習，特別是香港的情況，正體字、粵語教中文的優良傳統，出於政治意外，由英國殖民政府保存下來，更是文化奇迹，香港人固然要珍惜，大陸人也要理解。北方人立場不同，珍惜不珍惜，由得他們，但不要橫加干預，不准吾人在公共領域和文教機構用粵語。 Continue reading 陳雲 – 保衛大粵語
