Windows SQL Server Express 2012 and LDAP external server integration I have a new installation of Windows Server 2012 with SQL Server Express 2012 with the management tools.

I'm planning to create there a simple synchronization that will make queries twice per day to an external LDAP service (not a Windows active directory server) and fill a table in the local SQL instance. I've seen other questions here about this, and all of them refer to the creation of a Linked Server, but I think that will only work if the remote LDAP service was a Windows AD server.

I'm able to query this server using the LDP tool, but looks like I cannot add it as a linked server. Any ideas?
Do you just want to configure this? Or are you not averse to writing some code?

In the latter case, it should be relatively easy to write a small program that connects to both the LDAP server and the database and synchronizes the data. I've written such a thing once in PL/SQL in Oracle -- if it's possible there it should be possible in most languages and environments!
