I have an LDAP query, which I am using to perform a search in C#. It uses two string variables (username and domain) which need to be escaped for security reasons. How should I escape the strings? Is there a function available in C#.NET to do this? Example LDAP search conditions : (objectCategory=person) (userprincipalname=username@...
For a Django application that I'm working on, I wanted to allow group membership to be determined by Active Directory group. After a while of digging through the pywin32 documentation, I came up with this: >>> import win32net >>> win32net.NetUserGetGroups('domain_name.com', 'username') [(u'Domain Users', 7), ...] I spent a while goog...
what are the differences between ldap and active directory? ...
Hey All, I've been using several different tuts in order to build a LINQ-to-LDAP model. I've just about got it complete, but I'm running into some issues trying to bind the data returned to a class. I do the reverse part by assigning custom attributes to the properties of the class that are the actual names of the database fields. ...
Is there a way in Java to query Active Directory for a users attributes given an existing javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosTicket that was forwarded to my code? I know I want to use Ldap to do the search but I am confused on how to use this KerberosTicket object to Bind to ldap. Currently I am using Spring-Ldap and Spring-Security to...
I have gone through tons of documents over the internet in enabling Active Directory Authentication for Plone 3 using LDAPMultiplugins, PlonePAS etc., but none of them are working for me. Is there any one who has successfully done this? Even if this has accomplished on Windows, it is ok! ...
I need to select a number of attributes for all of the users in a particular group from a PHP application. I realize that I could query the 'member' attribute of the group to get the dn of every member and then make a separate LDAP query for the attributes of each member. I am hoping however, that there is a single query that I can perfo...
I have code that works correctly to connect to an Active Directory server: Dim oDSObj: Set oDSObj = GetObject("LDAP:") Dim oAuth: Set oAuth = oDSObj.OpenDSObject("LDAP://ldap.domain.com", "DOMAIN\username", "password", 1) However, I can't seem to figure out the syntax to make this work against an OpenLDAP Server: Dim oDSObj: Set oDSO...
I'm writing some C++/Win32 code to search for a user in an LDAP directory (really I need to validate a username/password is correct, and then verify group membership). I have the username, so I'm hoping something like the following will work: (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(uid={username})) When I call ldap_search with thi...
I'm hoping someone can help me understand how to work with the object returned by a call to DirContext.lookup. The following code snippet works and returns an object. I just can't figure out how to get the attributes from the object. javax.naming.directory.DirContext ctx = javax.naming.directory.getContext(false); Object o = ctx.lo...
Can MOSS integrate and get user profiles from multiple Active Directory and/or LDAP stores? I have seen from Integrating Microsoft SharePoint Server With Oracle Virtual Directory that there may be intermediary products that can help with this. It looks like Rohati has a solution as well, but is the out of the box without third party pr...
I am very in tune with relational modeling but new to LDAP modeling and am looking for best practices for designing LDAP schemas. Would love to know what are the equivalents of third normal form and other practices in the world of LDAP? Links to white papers that expand on this subject are greatly appreciated. ...
In every larger company I worked for they used LDAP as a way to access the central repository of user information, but very few have taken efforts to extend the schema to include objectClasses that aren't derived from inetOrgPerson. Microsoft's Active Directory makes extensive schema extensions but very few commercial products leverage ...
Attributes or object classes in LDAP schemas are identified through a unique number called OID. Moreover OIDs are also used in the SNMP protocol. Everyone can apply for an enterprise number by the IANA and then define his own subnumbers. But the processing of the application can last up to 30 days. Does anyone know if there is a "test" ...
Is it possible to query a list of IP addresses (or machine names) of domain computers that a domain user is currently logged into? The question "Getting logged on user’s name with or without domain in Windows" comes close, only I want to find the opposite. I ask about the possibility due to my lack of knowledge concerning the internal...

Is there a ldap query that will return or list user objects that have been removed from the active-directory system? Must you track all the user objects currently in the active-directory, and maintain a "last seen" stamp in order to tell when a user object has been removed from the active-directory? ...
I'm looking for the best way to store a configuration file in an LDAP server. My application used to save the user settings in an xml file. The user logins have been centralized in an LDAP server. The users are stored as "inetOrgPerson" in the LDAP server. I would like to attach the xml file to each user. What would be the best way to d...
I have been using the Java Netscape LDAP library to modify LDAP entries (http://www.mozilla.org/directory/javasdk.html). I now need a way to delete an entry. I looked through the library but could not find anything that I think would work. Found “LDAPDelete” but that looks like it’s used from the command line. If someone could post ...
I am trying develop an application (C#) to query an LDAP server. I don't know the actual server named to query - is there a way to find out using standard windows tools or something in .net? I've also heard rumors that having the server name (ldap://server/) is not always needed as long as I've got dc=domain,dc=com in my query string, ...
