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

Thanks! Take Care,
Mike

CoolNutz,
What code are you using to retrieve manager?

Z,

Im just adding the manager to the attributes it looks up on the user.

usrAttributes = "givenName,sn,manager"

CoolNutz,
All done:

Code: 
Set objDomain = GetObject ("GC://rootDSE")
objADsPath = objDomain.Get("defaultNamingContext")
Set objDomain = Nothing
Set con = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
con.provider ="ADsDSOObject"
con.open "Active Directory Provider"
Set Com = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set Com.ActiveConnection = con
Com.CommandText ="select manager FROM 'GC://"+objADsPath+"' where sAMAccountname='"+strUsername+"'"
Set rs = Com.Execute
manager=rs("manager")
rs.Close
managercn=(split((split(manager,",OU="))(0),"="))(1)
managercn=replace(managercn,"\","")
Com.CommandText="select sn,givenName FROM 'GC://"+objADsPath+"' where name='"+managercn+"'"
Set rs = Com.Execute
sn=rs("sn")
givenname=rs("givenName")
rs.Close
con.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set con = Nothing

CoolNutz,
change:
Code: 
managercn=(split((split(manager,",OU="))(0),"="))(1)
to:
Code: 
managercn =Left((split(manager,"="))(1),(Len((split(manager,"="))(1))-3))

Z,

I tried to bring in your code into my code... guess i must have screwed up some where. I keep getting this error

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: ''
/forms/formshome.asp, line 39

Here is my code....

user = Request.ServerVariables("Auth_User")
Set RootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
DomainADsPath = RootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
Set RootDSE = Nothing
Set Con = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Con.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
Con.Open "ADProvider"
Set Cmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set Cmd.ActiveConnection = Con

usrAttributes = "givenName,sn,manager"

usrADOQuery = "<LDAP://" & DomainADsPath & ">;(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=*)(name=" & user & "));" + usrAttributes + ";subtree"
Cmd.CommandText = usrADOQuery

Set rs = Cmd.Execute
loginame = rs.Fields("givenName") & " " & rs.Fields("sn")
Session("loginame")=loginame
manager=rs("manager")
rs.Close

managercn =Left((split(manager,"="))(1),(Len((split(manager,"="))(1))-3))
managercn=replace(managercn,"\","")
--> Line 39 Com.CommandText="select sn,givenName FROM 'GC://"+objADsPath+"' where name='"+managercn+"'"
Set rs = Com.Execute
sn=rs("sn")
givenname=rs("givenName")

rs.Close
Con.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set Con = Nothing

I know your busy, so when you get a chance, if you have any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks

fredb23,
I did reply to you with a question:

group membership and the ou that the user is in are two completely different things.
Are you looking to get one of these or both?

Done:

Code: 
<%@ Language=VBScript %>

user = Request.ServerVariables("Auth_User")
user = Right(user, Len(user) - InStrRev(user, "\"))

DomainADsPath = RootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
Set RootDSE = Nothing
Set Con = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Con.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
Con.Open "ADProvider"
Set Cmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set Cmd.ActiveConnection = Con

usrAttributes = "givenName,sn,manager"

usrADOQuery = "<LDAP://" & DomainADsPath & ">;(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=*)(sAMAccountname=" & user & "));" + usrAttributes + ";subtree"

Cmd.CommandText = usrADOQuery

Set rs = Cmd.Execute

'Session("loginame")=loginame

rs.Close

managercn=replace(managercn,"\","")

mgrAttributes = "givenName,sn"
mgrADOQuery = "<LDAP://" & DomainADsPath & ">;(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=*)(name=" & managercn & "));" + mgrAttributes + ";subtree"

Cmd.CommandText = mgrADOQuery

Set rs = Cmd.Execute
mgrsn=rs.Fields("sn")

rs.Close
Con.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set Con = Nothing

response.write mgrsn&"<br>"

Z, again PERFECT! thanks. But just for knowledge or curiousity, what was the problem?

Thanks

I saw a couple of problems:
The small section of script I gave you was written so that the queries are writen in a SQL format. Your queries are being done in a LDAP format. With that there are a few small differences when extracting records, etc.
Plus, in your usrADOQuery line i had to change
(name=" & user & ")
to
(sAMAccountname=" & user & ")
The user variable you have defined is not the LDAP field "name", it is "sAMAccountname"
It is possible the these two values are identical on your setup.

fredb23,
the field you want to retrieve is adspath

Code: 
strSQL = "SELECT adspath FROM GC://"+domainName+"' WHERE objectCategory='person' AND sAMAccountname ='"+userName+"' "

The department fields do have something in them. It is only for the intranet, so I cannot get you to view it. The server is a member, not controller. Anonymous is still on by default, but Windows Integrated was checked as well. I already set that to Basic, so both are checked. Is it necessary for only one?

HisMightiness,
For testing purposes only use one (basic). Integrated must not be checked. Make those changes and let me know what happens. If it doesn't seem to work, there are a few tests we can do.

Nice one Zcolton ! thanks
Adspath, as the name says, return the full path of the AD user so i get something like :
LDAP://CN=some user name,OU=W2000 XP,OU=computers and users,OU=Informatique,OU=society,DC=some domain,DC=net

I can work with that string to extract the information i need.

Out of curiosity what would be the field for group membership ?

cheers

fredb23,
"memberOf" gives you an array of the groups that a user is in. Each item in the array is the full adspath of each group. The only group not listed is the Primary Group - (usually "Domain Users")

zcolton,

I tried your suggestion, and I am still getting the same result (no result). What would be the next step to try?
