"Search for User" display no user

Hi,
I'm testing the Early access release of the SVDI.
I discovered a problem connecting to our OpenLDAP-Directory. The directory is configured with correct values for host, port, Base DN, User DN and password. The setup wizard finished without errors. But the search function on the "Users -> Users and Groups" tab returns no users.
This might be an issue with the structure of our openldap-tree, so I digg a little deeper. :-)
Our ldap tree looks like this:
/ ou=department,o=organization,c=de
|--- ou=Users
|--- ou=Groups
|--- ou=Computers
When I look at the logfiles of openldap, I recognize a ldap query with
'filter=&(&(|(?objectClass=user)(objectClass=person)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(objectClass=organizationalPerson))(!(?objectClass=computer)))(|(cn=*demo*)(uid=*demo*)(mail=*demo*)))'
This query doesn't return any entries.
While playing around with ldapserach I removed the '(!(?objectClass=computer))' part and the query works.
Removing this part from /etc/cacao/instances/default/modules/com.sun.vda.Service_Module.xml and restarting cacao makes me happy. :-)
What are the requirements for a supported ldap structure? I know that only active directory and Sun directory server are supported, but changing the directory service is not a 'near-time' option for me.
Currently we are using SUN VDI 2.0 and all (my) missing features are in 3.0. :-)
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
you did the right thing.
OpenLDAP doesn't seem to support LDAP queries about object classes it doesn't know.
This is impossible to have generic LDAP queries that are supported by every type of LDAP directory, and we know it is out of the question for customers to change their LDAP schema. That's why we made the LDAP filters and LDAP attributes, used by VDI, editable, so that customers can customize them to match their LDAP directory requirements.
The default filters would work OK for quick demos with Active Directory and Sun DS, but for production deployment, it would still be recommended to adapt the filter to match most closely the schema of the directory and to put less strain on the LDAP directory. This will be documented with our official release.
In Active Directory, computer objects have objectclass=user and objectclass=computer, so the (!(objectclass=computer)) part is there to avoid that computer objects are returned in a search for users and groups. But it is useless for the other type of directories that don't have such a specificity.
FYI, here is how VDI performs the search for users and groups:
The filter used by the web-GUI to search for users is: (&<ldap.user.object.filter><ldap.user.search.filter>)) and then the $SEARCH_STRING placeholder is replaced by \*criteria\* where criteria is the string you type in the web-GUI search field.
Same applies for groups, using the group filters.
We search first for users and then for groups.

Katell

Not all contacts showing in lync 2013 client search for most of the users

Dears
i have an issue in searching for contacts in Lync client 2013.
i already set the Global client policy to websearchonly and still not able to see all the contacts.
what should i do else?
we are using:
- windows 7 ent 64bit
- microsoft office 2010 plus 32bit
- microsoft lync basic 32bit
and on the server side:
- windows server 2012 64bit
- lync server 2013
appreciate your swift response
Moayad Sewar

Ok Moayad, thank you for these info.
It looks ok, I cannot find strange settings.
Did you do this check?
%userprofile%\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
enter the sip_<usersipuri> folder
you will find two files
GalContacts.db
GalContacts.db.idx
open the GalContacts.db with notepad, you can find every AD Users and Contacts that Lync consider eligible
for the GAL.
Try to find in this file some Contacts that lync users cannot find. If you cannot find here we've to investigate
more deeply into AD Attributes.

How to go about building a app that searches for and displays pages from Google.

I was wondering how i would go about building an app that takes a users input such as a sentence (not a URL) and then searches for their input on Google. This app would then have to display a selected page automatically on the UIWebView.
My existing code in my viewcontroller.m is as follows:
- (void)viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad]; [webView loadRequest: [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]]];
I now want my app to use a users input (a word or a sentence) and search Google with that input but do it in the background then display the first search result in the UIWebView, what code would i need?
Thanks

Sorry, I cant view the App Store Review Guidelines
https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.htmllink, maybe its because i dont have a developers account yet i will be getting one when i am ready to launch my app on the app store.

Searching for permissions of a user

Hi,
I'm trying to find the permissions of a user on a particular resource.
I did something similar for groups:
IGroup sapGroup = UMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroupByUniqueName(groupName);
IUMPrincipal group = WPUMFactory.getGroupFactory().getEP5Group(sapGroup);
IResourceAclEntryList irAclEntryList = rAcl.getEntries(group);
And this works but when I use a user as the argument for getEntries(), the result is empty and I'm sure the user has a permission on this resource.
If this would work, would it take into account the groups the user belongs to ?
Help would be much appreciated.
PS: Or is there a way to this without using deprecated classes ?

Hi,
You can try something like this:
private boolean userFound(IUMPrincipal aclPrincipal, IUser currentUser) {
     if ((aclPrincipal == null) && (currentUser == null)) {
              return false;
     if (IUMPrincipal.IUSER == aclPrincipal.getType()) {
         return currentUser.equals(aclPrincipal);
     } else if (IUMPrincipal.IGROUP == aclPrincipal.getType()) {
               String groupID = aclPrincipal.getId();
               return currentUser.isInGroup(groupID);
        } else if (IUMPrincipal.IROLE == aclPrincipal.getType()) {
         String roleID = aclPrincipal.getId();
         return currentUser.isInRole(roleID);
     return false;
and then:
IResourceAclEntryList irAclEntryList = rAcl.getEntries();
IResourceAclEntryListIterator rli = irAclEntryList.iterator();
while (rli.hasNext()) {
     IResourceAclEntry rae = rli.next();
     IUMPrincipal aclPrincipal = rae.getPrincipal();
     if (userFound(aclPrincipal, user))
          return rae.getPermission();
return null;

"Current User" Displays Wrong User

hi,
has anyone else seen the problem of the "Current User" column displaying the wrong user name?
any work-around?
(ARD 3.2, OSX 10.4.11)
thanks.
-mike

sorry but i don´t understand your question
What is the exactly problem you have?
there are various solucion for your problem
for example that the machine has a diferent user login
or the "current User" settings is not active!
expand your question please!

Portlet to display all users that have manager defined as currently displayed user profile

I need to create a portlet such that when a user finds a user's profile they see all of the users defined with manager set to the value of the profile user's employeeNumber.
Example:
(Think a directory of employees)
John searches and finds user named Jack. He sees Jack's name, phone number, address, etc in the General Information section. Then he also sees a section (Portlet) that lists all of Jack's direct reports. John clicks on one of Jack's direct reports (Sam), to find this person's phone number.
The Direct Reports portlet would be a search portlet that finds all of the users that have a mangerID property set to the value of Jack's employeeNumber property and displays them sorted by LastName.
I need some direction on where to start for this.
It seems like I need to use the Plumtree Server API in order to search for all of the user objects and sort them on a particular property, .e.g IPTObjectManager.Query Method (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Object[][])
A crawler seems out because, I guess that would require creating a folder for every user in the system? If I create a single folder I would need a binary tree structure to the folder. (Has anybody done this?)
I am concerned about the performance related to performing this search each time a user examines a user's profile.
Can somebody direct me to an example of a search "Portlet"? All of the examples I see are of searching external information like Google, or use PRC (do not see how that would be implemented in a portlet), or use EDK (external and does not seem to be able to do this).

You don't need one workflow per user when a filtered view can do this for you. If the manager's list is the parent calendar, I'm assuming that he'll be at least using the person look-up column.
Whether this feeds through the MyCalendar or stays where it is, you can use the [Me] parameter within the filter on a new view. This will then return the assigned holiday filtering against the account that is logged in.

Search for and edit single record in database

I am creating a few forms that access an Access database that will be used to enter data into the database. I am able to open records from the database and scroll through records one at a time and have added features to be able to search for and display a single record. The problem that I am having is when I load a single record and then edit that record, I am unable to save any changes made to the record, in other words, the record doesn't update on the database.
I can add new records and edit records as long as I scroll to them using .next(), .last(), .first(), and .previous() commands; however, when I load a single record I can't figure out how to save changes to that record in the database.

Ok...so I think i can get it to work by doing something like:
xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.open();
xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.first();
var oRecordList = ???????????
var nCount = oRecordList.length;
for (var i = 0; i < nCount; i++){
if (CurrentRecord.rawValue != SearchField.rawValue){
xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.next();
where CurrentRecord is a text field that shows the index of the current record and SearchField is the field where a user enters the record that they are searching for.
I think I just need to figure out how to count the number of records in the database. Any ideas?

Search for single member in an Active Directory Group

Hello all,
I'm attempting to find a better method to search if a user is a member of a group in Active Directory. I currently retrieve the entire member attribute of the group.
I need to reduce the time of the query. I would like to be able to search for a specific member (user) of the group instead of retrieving the entire member list of the group.
I can post my current code if that would help.
I believe the default Active Directory group object is the ldap group. I know that there are posixGroup and groupOfUniqueNames ldap classes available, but I'm not sure if Active Directory has access to those classes.
Is my request possible using the group ldap object?

Thanks for the reply.
I have read the first post you gave, but not the second. I'm off to read that now.
My main concern is that I don't have access to the DN of the user in the member attrib. I have access to their CN and uid (which is indexed). From what I can recall from when I last updated this code, I couldn't create a wildcard search filter e.g.,:
(&(cn=All Scientists)(objectClass=Group)(member=CN=Albert Einstein*))
If that's correct and I require a DN, is there any way around this?
I was interested in the posixGroup and groupOfUniqueNames classes. I wasn't aware that these were available through Active Directory, but I see them listed in the AD schema (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683908(VS.85).aspx).
If I'm correct, posixGroup would allow for a filter of (&(cn=All Scientists)(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=AEinstein))
I'm not sure how typical it is to use the posixGroup class in AD and I'll have to check with my AD team before moving forward with this. But I wanted to get some more direction/ideas before asking them to create some posixGroup objects for me.
I'm now going to go and read the second post you linked, but I wanted to put the rest of my details out there.
Thanks again.

How to search for password policy

Hello,
Using DS 5.2:
I've created a test policy, dn: cn=Test Policy,ou=People, o=xxx, o=isp. I can apply the policy, I can see the policy in my backup ldifs, but I can't figure out how to search for and display it (and eventually, delete it) either from the command line using ldapsearch or form within the admin gui. Any help?

What I would like to do is query my 8i instance for the current password policy
Can anyone provide a query to retrieve this info?connect as sys
in Oracle 8i and issue the command;
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%PASS%';
and
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%POLICY%';
I think , i'm not sure these policies would be transfered to 10g through migration except -if any- some of them are obsolete to 10g!!!!!

Simon

Search for user role but help poppup display

Anyone ever trying to search for user role from search action bar or user admin page?
Whenever select role and clicked on the magnifying glass icon, help content displays instead of role selection.
At first I think this is a bug. But when I asked Customer Care they said its an expected behaviour which means that this is how the engineers designed it.
Dont you feel weird? because other field like status, correctly displays status info after clicking the icon.
Hope u can try it this out and give your opinion here.

Can you provide a little more detail on what you were trying to do.

Help-ColdFusion - enabling a user to search for records in a database by entering a startand end date - (CREATEODBCDATE)

I want to enable a user to enter a start and end date to
define the period they want to search for records of members who
joined on certain dates. Funny thing is...I've got it to work half
of the time. For e.g. I have 4 records between 26/10/2005 and
1/08/2006. When I enter 01/01/2005 as startDate and 31/08/2006 as
endDate, I get the 4 records. However, if I alter the endDate to
01/09/2006 I get every record in the database!!!??? Why's this? I
can't get my head around it!
Here's my code:
First the code for the form the user input the search
criteria on:
<html>
<body>
<FORM action="memberJDateSearch.cfm" method="post">
<p>Start Date: <input type="text"
name="startDate">
<br>End Date: <input type="text" name="endDate">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
Simple enough. Now the code for the process and display page:
<html>
<body>
<cfquery name="memberJDateSearch"
datasource="jpkelle2-access">
SELECT *
From members
WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(startDate)# AND
#CreateODBCDate(endDate)#))
</cfquery>
<table border=1 bgcolor="beige" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>Member ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Sex</th>
<th>Date of Birth</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Date Joined</th>
</tr>
<CFOUTPUT Query="memberJDateSearch">
<tr>
<td><center>#memberID#<center></td>
<td width="15%">#forename# #initial#
#surname#</td>
<td>#sex#</td>
<td width="10%">#disp('#dob#')#</td>
<td>#address#, #town#, #county#, #postCode#</td>
<td>#email#</td>
<td width="10%">#disp('#joinDate#')#</td>
</tr>
</CFOUTPUT>
</table>
<hr><p>End of members list.</p>
</body>
</html>
any ideas? please help me.

Try formatting your dates first (before the CreateODBCDate
call). I just tried this on my test page and it worked properly. I
removed the DateFormat calls, keeping the dates in your format and
it didn't work. See if something like the following will help:
<cfset startDate =
DateFormat("31/01/2006","dd/mm/yyyy")/>
<cfset endDate =
DateFormat("01/09/2007","dd/mm/yyyy")/>
<cfquery name="memberJDateSearch"
datasource="jpkelle2-access">
SELECT *
From members
WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(startDate)# AND
#CreateODBCDate(endDate)#))
</cfquery>

HI ALL,
Can any one of you pls tell me the navigation of how to get the user exit in the screen of vl01 or 03 (outbound delivery).

First search the delivery main program SAPMV50A in that you will find the following User exits

See the doc on User exits:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a function module. The code for the function module is written by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
To find a Exit.

Urgent: Search for user with 'ß' character failed.

Hi all,
I have problem for searching the user with 'ß' character included in the name of user in Identity Management.
When nothing is specified in the search criteria, then the user is displayed.
When the name of user without 'ß' is given in the search criteria, then also the user is displayed.
But when the name is given with 'ß' in search criteria, the user is not recognized and cannot be displayed.
'ß' is the German Character.
Please help me out, why the user is not recognized with the character 'ß' in the search criteria.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Yogita.

Hi,
You can ofcourse use ß and all other chars in your search.
It makes no sence that you can create users with these chars, but cannot search using them.
I tried to create user with char ß and also could search with this char. So it is only a local problem on your server.
Is your UME connected with LDAP or DB? My UME where I tested is DB.
So dont give up, open an OSS message with SAP for a solution and also update this thread if you find an answer.

Accounts search not working for only the specific user

Hi friends,
We have configured E.P 7.0 with CRM 5.0 and configured CRM PCUI business package.
We have role called <b>accounts abd products</b> in portal. So accounts can be searched in this role.
Now our severity issue is for one of the super user,for ex su1, accounts search is not working in portal but the same is working in CRM GUI.
for example if we search for an account 233445(or any other account) in portal its showing no data found but if we search with the same criteria data is displaying CRM GUI.
We have checked with other 2 super ids. Both ends portal and gui search is working fine.
Am unable to figure out whats the cause of the issue as search is not working only for one user su1 .
we have checked by restarting the server also to clear the memory cache.But still search is not working in portal.
Could anyone of u please advice ASAP as this is severity issue.
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.
