macOS Workgroup/Domain Name

[Sunil]

Hi Guys,

I have one client application and one server application written in cocoa.
My client is running on different machines and connected with my server in LAN.
Now I want to find the Domain Name or Workgroup Name from my client application of that machine where my client is running and send it to my server. So on server side I can segregate my different clients which are connected with my server belongs to which workgroup/domain.

In windows there is one api to find the wrokgroup "NetWkstaGetInfo" then what is similar to this api in Mac?

Please suggest me some link or sample code.

Thanks,
sunil.

Well, using nm and otool, Directory Access's SMB plugin links with DirectoryServices.framework, and calls several functions, which may be public (DirectoryServices.framework has several header files):

dsBuildListFromStrings
dsDataBufferAllocate
dsDataBufferDeAllocate
dsDataNodeAllocateBlock
dsDoPlugInCustomCall
dsOpenDirNode

Maybe the answer lies in those functions?
