Working with DirectoryServices in ASP.NET Core

Question

I am upgrading my ASP.NET Core RC1 application to RC2. I have some references to System.DirectoryServices and System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement in some *.cs files so that I can query LDAP. But I have no idea how to add references to it in RC2 in the Project.json file. Everything that I try just gives me more errors. Any help is appreciated.
