But unfortunately at the end it show an exception which stop my programme
what kind of trouble is it please ?
Appreciate any help !
thanks

On my AD, the last CN entry after Users is always
CN=Configuration [servername:389]
If I try access this node in an LDAP browser, I get a CommunicationsException. I think it has to do with access permissions, because I believe modifying the schema involves accessing that node.
This seems to be where your list is failing too. Perhaps you should try connecting to the AD as more "powerful" user (ie more access rights) or else try changing permission on the AD for that last node.

Active Directory cn field not updated from sap HR using ldap.

Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum area.
I am using the LDAP facility to create and modify Active Directory records from sap HR. Initially, the name field cn that was coming across into AD was in the format of the logical system and employee number, eg, RD4CLNT22000000711.
I then implemented the BADI HRLDAP_ATTRIBUTES which then changed this name field cn in the active directory listing to the format; surname, forename.
It works fine when I create a new user, however the problem comes when I update the persons name in the sap hr module. The data that comes across into Active Directory shows the change to the persons surname sn, forename and displayname fields is there but the cn field is still showing as the previous name.
In short, when a new user is created, the cn field in active directory is correct
(surname, forename) but when the employees name is modified, that change is not brought across to the cn field even though the surname, forename and displayname fields are updated correctlyon AD.
We are on release 4.70.
Anyway, if anyone could help I would be very grateful.
Thanks
David

Hi
The problem it is causing us is that the cn field is incorrect and does not mirror the change in sap HR, therefore the Active Directory entry for the employee is not totally accurate.
When an employee changes their name in SAP HR - usually their surname, we would then want to update the employees active directory account to show this change and this includes the cn field also. At the moment the firstname, lastname fields do get updated with the change so we would want the cn field to show this as well otherwise the cn field would be incorrect and not match up with the employee's AD firstname & lastname fields.

How to populate active directory users in to drop down list items dynamically in Share point 2010 ?

Hi My self Arun in my current project i have a task on that active directory user need to automatically populate in share point list drop down please help me. is that any out of box feature in share point 2010 ?
Thanking You
Arun

Arun,
If you plan to implement the "Querying the Active Directory" based on my code snippet,
and if you do not have permission [your account must be the part of domain admin] to do so,
Then still you can do it in least effort through code,
string usersInXml = SPContext.Current.Web.AllUsers.Xml;your xml string look like this.
<Users><User ID="2" Sid="" Name="Administrator"
LoginName="i:0#.w|murugesan\administrator" Email="" Notes="" IsSiteAdmin="True" IsDomainGroup="False" Flags="0" /><User ID="1" Sid="" Name="Murugesa Pandian" LoginName="i:0#.w|murugesan\murugesan" Email="" Notes="" IsSiteAdmin="True" IsDomainGroup="False" Flags="0" /><User ID="1073741823" Sid="S-1-0-0" Name="System Account" LoginName="SHAREPOINT\system" Email="" Notes="" IsSiteAdmin="False" IsDomainGroup="False" Flags="0" /></Users>
You can user Linq to XML to filter the "LoginName,Name and Email and then populate your drop down list.
* User must be logged into the site at least once.

While
the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

How to get the list of Group set in each Users in MS Active Directory

Hi. I would like to know if you know how to get the set group of each user in Active Directory?
We have this sample code
String INITCTX ="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory";
//String MY_HOST = "ldap://myserver/ou=dev,dc=test,dc=com,dc=ph";
String MY_HOST ="ldap://myserver.dev.test.com.ph:389/dc=dev,dc=test,dc=com,dc=ph";
String strUsername,strPassword;
try
     strUsername = Request.getParameter("username").toLowerCase().trim();
     strPassword = Request.getParameter("password").toLowerCase().trim();
     Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
     env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, INITCTX);
     env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, MY_HOST);
     env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
     env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,strUsername+"@dev.lst.com.ph");
     env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, strPassword);
After validating the User Name and Password the next task is to Retrieve the group list of the User.

Nope I want the log-in user to retrieve its Group where he is belong. I have this following code
strUsername = Request.getParameter("username").toLowerCase().trim()+"@dev.test.com.ph";
strPassword = Request.getParameter("password").toLowerCase().trim();
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, INITCTX);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, MY_HOST);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,strUsername);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, strPassword);
// enable tracing
env.put("com.sun.naming.ldap.trace.ber", System.err);
// Create the initial context
DirContext initCtx = new InitialDirContext(env);
// Get the target context
DirContext targetCtx = (DirContext)initCtx.lookup("");
SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls();
constraints.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
// Perform the search on the target context
NamingEnumeration enum = targetCtx.search("","(userPrincipalName="+strUsername+")",constraints);
javax.naming.directory.Attributes attrs;
NameClassPair item;
String[] attrIds = new String[]{"MemberOf"};
// For each answer found, get its "Groups" attribute
// If relative, resolve it relative to the target context
// If not relative, resolve it relative to the initial context
while (enum.hasMore()) {
item = (NameClassPair)enum.next();
Out.println(item);
attrs = targetCtx.getAttributes(item.getName(), attrIds);
Out.println(attrs + "<br>");
     initCtx.close();
It returns all this string :
{memberof=memberOf: CN=CMCanadaRD,OU=Groups / Teams,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=iMngrCanadaRW,OU=Groups / Teams,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=Backup Operators,CN=Builtin,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph}
How can i retrieve the Group named CMCanadaRW and CMCanadaRD on the Attribute?
Thanks

Active Directory error message "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location forestB\username

Hello Community
    "forestA" is my forest it is a Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition
domain controller using Active Directory and the UI.
    In my forest ("forestA") trust relationship I created a "One-Way, Out-going"
forest trust with Forest-Wide authentication so that a different forest user(s) or
group(s) with a different admin in a forest named “forestB” can access the resources in my “forestA”
    But also forestB needs to create a "One-way, Incoming" forest trust so that
I can either add the user(s) or group(s) from “forestB” into to a "Global Security - Group"
in my "forestA" or I can
add user(s) as "domain user(s)" from “forestB” into my "forestA".
    The problem is that when I right click the global group in my forestA and then
properties, when I click "Members" and then the "Add" button when I type
"forestB\username" I get an error message from Active Directory stating:
    "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location
dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
    Am I doing something wrong when creating the one-way trust in my
“forestA” or is the one-way trust being created wrong by the other domain admin in the other “forestB”?
    Or could I possibly need to select "Change Domain" or "Change Domain Controller"
before adding the users or Groups to my forestA from forestB?
    That is why I am asking
how do you add an Active Directory user from one forest into another forest?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hello Denis Cooper
    That is the end result.
    What I was trying to do was that I was trying to
bring in the user(s) and group(s) from “forestB” into
my “forestA” Global group.
    Later on I was going to add the user(s) or Global groups(s) that I brought into my dc in my forestA
into the domain local groups on my member servers in my forestA.
    So since the error message is:
"the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
Does your response
mean only Global group(s) from forestB not domain user(s) from forestB have
to been added to domain local groups in forestA?
Or is it also possible to add Global group(s) from “forestB” to Global group(s) in my “forestA” and if so
how without getting the above error message?
Thank you
    Shabeaut

Best practice for Active Directory User Templates regarding Distribution Lists

Hello All
I am looking to implement Active Directory User templates for each department in the company to make the process of creating user accounts for new employees easier. Currently when a user is created a current user's Active directory account is copied, but
this has led to problems with new employees being added to groups which they should not be a part of.
I have attempted to implement this in the past but ran into an issue regarding Distribution Lists. I would like to set up template users with all group memberships that are needed for the department, including distribution lists. Previously I set this up
but received complaints from users who would send e-mail to distribution lists the template accounts were members of.
When sending an e-mail to the distribution list with a member template user, users received an error because the template account does not have an e-mail address.
What is the best practice regarding template user accounts as it pertains to distribution lists? It seems like I will have to create a mailbox for each template user but I can't help but feel there is a better way to avoid this problem. If a mailbox is created
for each template user, it will prevent the error messages users were receiving, but messages will simply build up in these mailboxes. I could set a rule for each one that deletes messages, but again I feel like there is a better way which I haven't thought
of.
Has anyone come up with a better method of doing this?
Thank you

You can just add arbitrary email (not a mailbox) to all your templates and it should solve the problem with errors when sending emails to distribution lists.
If you want to further simplify your user creation process you can have a look at Adaxes (consider it's a third-party app). If you want to use templates, it gives you a slightly better way to do that (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInterfaceCustomization_AllowUsingTemplatesForUserCreation.htm)
and it also can automatically perform tasks such as mailbox creation for newly created users (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_AutomatingDailyTasks_AutomateExchangeMailboxesCreationForNewUsers.htm).
Alternatively you can abandon templates at all and use customizable condition-based rules to automatically perform all the needed tasks on user creation such as OU allocation, group membership assignment, mailbox creation, home folder creation, etc. based on
the factors you predefine for them.

Getting list of all users and their group memberships from Active Directory

Hi,
I want to retrieve a list of all the users and their group memberships through JNDI from Active Directory. I am using the following code to achieve this:
==================
import javax.naming.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
public class GetUsersGroups{
     public static void main(String[] args){
          String[] attributeNames = {"memberOf"};

          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
          env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://172.19.1.32:389/");
          env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
          env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "[email protected]");
          env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "p8admin");
          try {
               // Create the initial directory context
               DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
               //get all the users list and their group memberships
               NamingEnumeration contentsEnum = ctx.list("CN=Users,DC=filenetp8,DC=com");
               while (contentsEnum.hasMore()){
                    NameClassPair ncp = (NameClassPair) contentsEnum.next();
                    String userName = ncp.getName();
                    System.out.println("User: "+userName);
                    try{
                         System.out.println("am here....1");
                         Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(userName, attributeNames); // only asked for one attribute so only one should be returned
                         System.out.println("am here....2");
                         Attribute groupsAttribute = attrs.get(attributeNames[0]); // memberOf
                         System.out.println("-----"+groupsAttribute.size());
                         if (groupsAttribute != null){
                              // memberOf is a multi valued attribute
                              for (int i=0; i<groupsAttribute.size(); i++){
                              // print out each group that user belongs to
                              System.out.println("MemberOf: "+groupsAttribute.get(i));
                    }catch(NamingException ne){
                    // ignore for now
               System.err.println("Problem encountered....0000:" + ne);
               //get all the groups list
          } catch (NamingException e) {
          System.err.println("Problem encountered 1111:" + e);
=================
The following exception gets thrown at every user entry:
User: CN=Administrator
am here....1
Problem encountered....0000:javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code 1 -
000020D6: SvcErr: DSID-03100690, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 0
]; remaining name 'CN=Administrator'
I think it gets thrown at this line in the code:
Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(userName, attributeNames);
Any idea how to overcome this and where am I wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

In this sentence:
Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(userName, attributeNames); // only asked for one attribute so only one should
It seems Ok when I add "CN=Users,DC=filenetp8,DC=com" after userName, just as
userName + ",CN=Users,DC=filenetp8,DC=com"
But I still have some problem with it.
Hope it will be useful for you.

Unable to find user list in Active Directory Authenticator

Hi all,
I am using weblogic 10.3 and want to configure ActiveDirectory Authenticator for my weblogic application. We have one managed srever under admin server . I have configured a Active Directory Authenticator named "ADAuthenticator" and made following changes as per the below values:
I set the control flag to "OPTIONAL" .
Security Realms-->myrealm-->Providers-->ADAuthenticator-->Provider Specific
UserName Attribute : ServiceBEA
Principal : ServiceBEA
Host : xxxxxx
User Search Scope : subtree
Group From Name Filter : (&(ServiceBEA=%g)(objectclass=group))
Credential : xxxxxx
Confirm Credential : xxxxxx
User From Name Filter : (&(ServiceBEA=%u)(objectclass=user))
Static Group Name Attribute : ServiceBEA
User Base DN : values provided as per requirement
Port : 389
User Object Class : user
Use Retrieved User Name as Principal : checked
Group Base DN : same values as per User Base DN
Static Group Object Class : group
Group Membership Searching : unlimited
Max Group Membership Search Level : 0
These are my AD settings. After doing this i click on save and then activate changes and then restarted the admin server.
But the problem is when i login to weblogic console to check the user list under "User and Group" i am unble to find any Active Directory users.
I don't know where i made the mistake. Can some make me out of this trouble.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

Hi Sean,
Actually we have already a Active Directory with username "ServiceBEA" in our windows server. So i used this "ServiceBEA" as UserName Attribute in weblogic console while creating a Active Directory Authenticator.
You mean to say that we should go for "sAMAccountName" or what? If that is the case then i have also tested with following values, but still no luck.
UserName Attribute : sAMAccountName
Principal : ServiceBEA
Host : xxxxxx
User Search Scope : subtree
Group From Name Filter : (&(sAMAccountName=%g)(objectclass=group))
Credential : xxxxxx
Confirm Credential : xxxxxx
User From Name Filter : (&(sAMAccountName=%u)(objectclass=user))
Static Group Name Attribute : sAMAccountName
User Base DN : values provided as per requirement
Port : 389
User Object Class : user
Use Retrieved User Name as Principal : checked
Group Base DN : same values as per User Base DN
Static Group Object Class : group
Group Membership Searching : unlimited
Max Group Membership Search Level : 0
Please advise what to be place in case of User Name Attribute.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !
