Answer:

In the Helpdesk application, we utilize the following Active Directory (AD) attributes to authenticate users:

- "mail": This attribute is used to retrieve the user's email address.

- "givenName": This attribute stands for the user's first name.

- "sn": This is the attribute for the user's last name.

- "department": This attribute provides information about the user's department.

- "telephoneNumber": This is used to obtain the user's phone number.

- "company": This attribute captures the name of the user's company.

- "thumbnailPhoto" or "jpegPhoto": We use one of these attributes to display the user's avatar picture.
