ldap question 1

[refulgent]

Hi Guys,

I am not sure i got the right forum..but my question is this..
I am looking for a code to retrieve user id from LDAP given that first name and last name are provided.

Thank you in advance,

kate

Hi Kate,

maybe the following example gives you some support:

HRESULT hr;
CoInitialize(NULL);

IADsContainer *pCont=NULL;

hr = ADsGetObject(L"LDAP://DC=windows2000,DC=nttest,DC=microsoft,DC=com",
IID_IADsContainer,
(void**) &pCont );

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Get the child from the container.
// Note in the LDAP provider you can go down more than one level.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IDispatch *pDisp = NULL;
IADs *pADs = NULL;
hr = pCont->GetObject(L"user", L"CN=Mike Smith, OU=DSys", &pDisp );
pCont->Release();

hr = pDisp->QueryInterface( IID_IADs, (void**) &pADs );
pDisp->Release();

// Do something with pADs here.
pADs->Release();

CoUninitialize();


This example was taken from Microsoft's MSDN.

Kind regards,

Hi Kridy,

Thank you for reply!
I got as far as retrieveing all of the information about the user when i enter his name
I used printLDIF() for that...do you know how can i retrieve only the users mail id?
(if user name is Jane Doe her mail id would be jdoe)

Thanks,

Kate
