In my vb.net code, I'm using LDAP server for authentication, and I want to update attribute values for user only if the user has write permission on that attribute. I would like to know how to do this. I did search some existing articles and questions, but could not find any solution. Any help you provide is very much appreciated.

System.DirectoryServices is the namespace you'll want to use to work with LDAP. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.directoryservices%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

As per my comment:

When you use this if you connect to the user using the user account it will only allow you to update if you have permissions. As long as you put the code into a try catch you shouldn't have to do anything else other than just try to do the update.
