Could someone post an example of ASP code used to query LDAP without any proprietary components?

Thanks! Take Care,
Mike
 
I can connect with no problems...it's only certain attributes like department and memberOf that hose things up.

I can return cn, mail, description, sn, ect. but there are some that return "Unspecified Error" when I include them in the query. I tried using both LDAP and GC...same result. I did find that GC is quicker though.
 
ZColton, I hope theres still a chance you may read this.
Back in Oct 14, 2003 you posted a script having listed the departments with a "distinct" option so as to not list every dept 100 times. I've been trying to do that for a week now and going nutz... the script you posted worked excellent, only I need to do that in a drop down list. I've been working with your script trying to make it work and I give up and turning to you for help.

Thanks

Hi,

Im very new at asp and LDAP.

My scenario: A user opens an .asp page and some fields get populated with thier information taken from exchange server.

What im doing:
I know how to get a logon name of the local user.

1 - Im trying to search for LDAP servers on my network.
Then select the correct LDAP server (exchange server?)
2 - then in the server use the logon name to get the object that contains the attibutes of the logon user.

populating the field i know but i dont know how to do the LDAP stuff.

Can anyone help?
 
Describe your network:
Win2k?
Exchange 2K?
We need a little more info.
 
oh sorry i forgot
yeah win2k and exchange 2k.

im currently trying to test out your phonebook example.
im looking at the code whre u dont have to hard code the server name.

Is is possible to do that example using LDAP?
Also im not familiar with what objects in exchange 2k has the attributes of the users


Thanks for your help.
 
So let me see if I understand:
You want to display user account info about the currently logged in user.
What info do you want to display?
 
On my asp form i want to populate; user real name, phone extention, email address into separate text fields.

So when the user accesses this page it will automatically fill in those information. This asp page is part of our service desk request form.

i could post my form if you would like to see it

Thanks alot. you are very helpful. I want to get u some coffee. :)

I have a question.
Request.ServerVariables(&quot;LOGON_USER&quot;)

when using that line, i ran it locally on my computer and it did not pick up any value. Why is that?
 
What authentication methods are you using for this web page?
 
im not sure. how could i found out? should i ask my network admin.

this webpage is accessed internally on our intranet
 
To populate the server variable &quot;LOGON_USER&quot; anonymous access must be removed. It will only work with basic or intergrated windows authentication.
 
Is that why you used auth_user? Since it is able to retrieve the user regardless of anonymous access?
 
Actually auth_user and logon_user act the same way
 
GC is global catalog
searching the GC is faster that LDAP
