I have a new requirement from client to insert AD details from the users into a Web Part within a site. I have read that the GetUserProfileByName web service is used for this purpose but when I made the request using jquery - ajax I got 401 Unauthorized.

I can't post code, seems the forum can't support this action.

Is this the correct approach to accomplish the requirement by coding method ? Is there a better way to achieve this by Client side code ? if anyone can give a hint on this would be appreciated.
