Is it possible to list Active Directory Name for selection in Xforms

2

I don't understand what you're asking.
Forms are only searched for and openable when placed in the
/mnt/sdcard/odk/forms directory.

We have been maintaining Active Directory windows services to authorize
users. New users are added and some users are removed from our active
directory user list. Now we need to select one user from active directory
list who conducts surveys using ODK. Is there a way to take all users
listed in active directory to xforms so that we can select user from there
rather than listing all the users manually in xforms

You must write software to do that. Interactions with the phone rely on
Digest Auth and, in ODK Collect 1.2.1, also Basic Auth (if the
communication is over https).

You would need to modify the server configuration to use Basic Auth only
(easily done; ships using only Digest Auth), and then write server software
to take the username and password sent from the phone and perform the user
authentication against the Active Directory service.

If your Active Directory service supports OpenID, you could fairly easily
change the interactive Google logins to instead use your Active Directory
OpenID service (meaning that instead of a Google account, you would use
accounts known to the Active Directory service). But that is a different
authentication mechanism than that performed by the phones.
