So, users can log on to helpdesk application with their account in active directory. Why should I integrate active directory user to helpdesk application? Because I have more than 1,400 users. Can anyone help me, how to connect my application using SQL server to active directory(including user password)? Thankyou.

Active Directory is a X500 or LDAP directory. You can write a program to extract user information from AD to a file or into a sql table on a regular basis so you can get userid, firstname, surname, email, phone no etc. Note, it is impossible to get the password, as its encrypted.
Use omething like Visual Studio and ADSI to read Active Directory.
