+# AD Bulk Tool prototype

+A small Avalonia + C# prototype for bulk Active Directory edits from a CSV.
+
+## What it currently does
+
+- Load a CSV file.
+- Show all CSV headers in a human-readable dropdown, including duplicate column names as `1: Name`, `2: Name`, etc.
+- Select one of these actions:
+  - Disable user
+  - Enable user
+  - Add to group
+  - Remove from group
+  - Set random password
+  - Set password change at next login
+  - Set random password + change at next login
+- Preview changes locally.
+- Run a real AD dry run that binds to LDAP/LDAPS and validates users.
+- Execute changes against AD.
+- Test DNS, TCP 389, TCP 636, LDAP bind on 389, and LDAPS bind on 636 before running a job.
+- Use two presets:
+  - `Use LDAP 389 (normal edits)`
+  - `Use LDAPS 636 (password edits)`
+
+## Important safety notes
+
+- Test with a dedicated test OU and test accounts first.
+- Leave `Dry run` enabled until you are sure the mapping is correct.
+- Normal edits such as enable, disable, add to group, and remove from group can use LDAP 389.
+- Password reset actions require LDAPS 636 and are blocked if LDAP 389 is selected.
+- `Set password change at next login` sets `pwdLastSet=0`; it does not generate a new password.
+- Do not use `Ignore cert errors` in production. Install your internal root CA on the Linux machine instead.
+- The prototype shows generated passwords in the result list. Treat the screen as sensitive.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+dotnet restore
+dotnet run
+```
+
+## Typical values
+
+For normal edits:
+
+```text
+LDAP host:      NODC04.knno.local
+Port:           389
+Use LDAPS:      unchecked
+Search base DN: DC=knno,DC=local
+Bind username:  KNNO\your-admin-user or your-admin-user@knno.local
+```
+
+For password reset actions:
+
+```text
+LDAP host:      NODC04.knno.local
+Port:           636
+Use LDAPS:      checked
+Search base DN: DC=knno,DC=local
+Bind username:  KNNO\your-admin-user or your-admin-user@knno.local
+```
+
+## Recommended test order
+
+1. Enter host, search base, bind username, and bind password.
+2. Click `Test ports + LDAP/LDAPS`.
+3. Confirm whether LDAP 389 works.
+4. Confirm whether LDAPS 636 works.
+5. Load a tiny CSV with test users.
+6. Run `Preview`.
+7. Run with `Dry run` checked.
+8. Only then run without `Dry run`.
+
+## Linux LDAPS trust
+
+For proper LDAPS, your Linux machine must trust the CA that issued the domain controller LDAP certificate.
+On Arch/CachyOS, this is commonly done by placing your root CA certificate under `/etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/` and running:
+
+```bash
+sudo trust extract-compat
+```
+
+Exact CA trust commands depend on your Linux distribution.
