How to make a search from the ActiveDirectory Resource

Question

Hello, I'm trying to implement a workflow (java class invoked) that searches and retrieve the DistinguishedName of a user, using the ActiveDirectory Resource created in Identity Manager System.
What I don't know is how to send commands to the Active Directory Adapter to do a search of a user and retrieve data. Where can I find this documentation?
Have any of you have done this before?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I know that this topic is a bit older, but I'm solving similar problem. I try to make a list of AD account, so I use this code:
<set name='strAdUcty'>                         
            <split>
                <block>
                    <invoke name='getResourceObjects' class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil'>                             
                    <select>
                        <ref>context</ref>
                        <ref>:display.session</ref>
                        <invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
                            <ref>WF_CONTEXT</ref>
                        </invoke>                                 
                    </select>
                    <s>person</s>
                    <s>AD</s>                             
                    <map>
                          <s>searchContext</s>
                          <s>ou=test,dc=studny,dc=local</s>
                          <s>searchAttrsToGet</s>
                          <list>
                            <s>sAMAccountName</s>
                            <s>name</s>
                          </list>
                          <s>searchFilter</s>
                             <concat>
                                <s>(&(sn=*))</s>
                             </concat>
                          <s>searchScope</s>
                          <s>oneLevel</s>
                    </map>
                    </invoke>                         
                </block>
                <s>,[]</s>
                </split>
</set>I expect that this code retrieve sAMAccountName and name of particular AD user, right?
This code perform following result:
GenericObject:John Doe 
GenericObject:Lee Baker 
GenericObject:Peter Down 
GenericObject:Christian Knob   Now I need to display (and process) e.g. sAMAccountName for Lee Baker. How get this information from particular account? I couldn't understand

A list of objects is returned. So iterate over the list to get the objects. After you get the object, you need to get the attribute from it.
I tried following code, but unsuccessful:
<get>
       <ref>strAdUcty</ref>
       <s>sAMAccountName</s>
</get>This return: GenericObject:John Doe
or
<new class='com.waveset.object.Resource'>                        
      <invoke name='toXml'>
            <invoke name='getObject' class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil'>
                  <select>
                       <ref>context</ref>
                       <ref>:display.session</ref>
                  </select>                                
                  <s>sAMAccountName</s>
                   <s>strAdUcty</s>
             </invoke>
        </invoke>
</new>This return: Resource:null
I need to display:
1) account name only (without GenericObject text)
2) sAMAccountName value for specific account
Where is the problem? Thanks for help.
