I am building a .net 5 core asp.net app and developing on a windows maching. I am deploying to a Windows 2019 server with IIS. I installed the hosting bundle and the runtime. I can run the app fine until I add in ldap authentication. I normally use System.DirectoryServices. It runs fine locally, but on the server I get the exception:
Category: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.ExceptionHandlerMiddleware
System.PlatformNotSupportedException: System.DirectoryServices is not supported on this platform.
I got warnings while developing that DirectorySearcher and DirectoryEntry were only available on windows. I thought no problem I am devving and deploying on windows. So why would I be getting this error. Am I missing a configuation somewhere?

Ensure your web app is building against net6.0-windows and not just net6.0 or something else. If you're getting warnings then that is a problem.
Would this work with net5.0-windows? Also, how do you build against a specifc target framework in Visual Studio by its moniker? Or do I have to use the command line? Thanks.
It should work with .NET 5 but .NET 5 is out of support so you shouldn't be building against that. Use .NET 6. Setting up the target framework requires that you select the project node in Solution Explorer. It should then throw you into the built in editor for the project file. Currently there will be a line that says something like <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>. Change that line to be <TargetFramework>net5.0-windows</TargetFramework>.
Alternatively you can right click the project and select Properties and then set the framework in the GUI but it takes longer.
I am getting the same error. No warnings when building. But I get this error when debugging
System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement is not supported on this platform.
I am running on Windows. I am targetting
<TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
and I use
<PackageReference Include="System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement" Version="7.0.0" />
package.
I could not find anything that has S.DS.AM in my bin folder.
Can you please advice how to fix this error?

I'm getting same issue on net7.0-windows with directoryservices 8.0.0.
If i inspect the dll from nuget, all properties are throwing the exception.
Hi,
Thanks for writing and we are happy to help you regarding your query related to .Net Core application.
Based on the compatibility pack list, your case should work fine in Windows platform,.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-the-windows-compatibility-pack-for-net-core/
Could you please try following options to resolve the issue?
1.In case, you see warnings for a platform-specific APIs usage even if you're targeting that platform, , enable the AssemblyInfo.cs file generation or add the attribute manually in your project.
Please refer the following link for additional info,

3.Try using following library for LDAP - *************************************************************

In Visual Studio v2022, even though I had tried uninstalling/re-installing System.DirectoryServices.Protocols different ways: via the NuGet UI, via the NuGet Mgr Console, or by removing that reference in the package.config and <project>.csproj files and then re-adding it, updating my registry for a binding issue, rebooting, starting/stopping VS 2022, I found that I when I added
<add assembly="System.DirectoryServices.Protocols, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
inside of:
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.2" batch="false">
<assemblies>
....
</assemblies>
</compilation>
to my web.config. Once I did that, restarted VS and started typing "@using System.DirectoryServices." in my .cshtml file, I then saw Protocols show up as a selectable method. That fixed it for me.
