  • How to get foreignSecurityPrincipal from group. using DirectorySearcher

    - by kain64b
    What I tested with 0 results: string queryForeignSecurityPrincipal = "(&(objectClass=foreignSecurityPrincipal)(memberof:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:={0})(uSNChanged>={1})(uSNChanged<={2}))"; sidsForeign = GetUsersSidsByQuery(groupName, string.Format(queryForeignSecurityPrincipal, groupPrincipal.DistinguishedName, 0, 0)); public IList<SecurityIdentifier> GetUsersSidsByQuery(string groupName, string query) { List<SecurityIdentifier> results = new List<SecurityIdentifier>(); try{ using (var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, DomainName, User, Password)) { using (var groupPrincipal = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, IdentityType.SamAccountName, groupName)) { DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = (DirectoryEntry)groupPrincipal.GetUnderlyingObject(); do { directoryEntry = directoryEntry.Parent; } while (directoryEntry.SchemaClassName != "domainDNS"); DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(directoryEntry){ SearchScope=System.DirectoryServices.SearchScope.Subtree, Filter=query, PageSize=10000, SizeLimit = 15000 }; searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("objectSid"); searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("distinguishedname"); using (SearchResultCollection result = searcher.FindAll()) { foreach (var obj in result) { if (obj != null) { var valueProp = ((SearchResult)obj).Properties["objectSid"]; foreach (var atributeValue in valueProp) { SecurityIdentifier value = (new SecurityIdentifier((byte[])atributeValue, 0)); results.Add(value); } } } } } } } catch (Exception e) { WriteSystemError(e); } return results; } I tested it on usual users with query: "(&(objectClass=user)(memberof:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:={0})(uSNChanged>={1})(uSNChanged<={2}))" and it is work, I test with objectClass=* ... nothing help... But If I call groupPrincipal.GetMembers,I get all foreing user account from group. BUT groupPrincipal.GetMembers HAS MEMORY LEAK. Any Idea how to fix my query????

  • Acquiring AD OU list.

    - by Stephen Murby
    Hi, I am looking to be able to pull a list of current OU's from Active Directory I have been looking at some example code online for sometime, but O don't seem to be able to get this to work. string defaultNamingContext; DirectoryEntry rootDSE = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE"); defaultNamingContext = rootDSE.Properties["defaultNamingContext"].Value.ToString(); DirectorySearcher ouSearch = new DirectorySearcher(rootDSE, "(objectClass=organizationalUnit)", null, SearchScope.Subtree); MessageBox.Show(rootDSE.ToString()); try { SearchResultCollection collectedResult = ouSearch.FindAll(); foreach (SearchResult temp in collectedResult) { comboBox1.Items.Add(temp.Properties["name"][0]); DirectoryEntry ou = temp.GetDirectoryEntry(); } The error I get is There provider does not support searching and cannot search LDAP://RootDSE Any Ideas? for each of those returned search results I want to add them to a combo box. (shouldn't be too hard)

  • Is there any performance advantage to using DirectorySearcher over SearchRequest for LDAP queries.

    - by WayneC
    I understand that System.DirectoryServices is a "layer above" System.DirectoryServices.Protocols and abstracts some of the complexity. Are there any other advantages, performance or otherwise, to using System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher vs. System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest for LDAP queries from .NET. What criteria would cause you to use one approach over the other?

  • Searching for the last logon of users in Active Directory

    - by Robert May
    I needed to clean out a bunch of old accounts at Veracity Solutions, and wanted to delete those that hadn’t used their account in more than a year. I found that AD has a property on objects called the lastLogonTimestamp.  However, this value isn’t exposed to you in any useful fashion.  Sure, you can pull up ADSI Edit and and eventually get to it there, but it’s painful. I spent some time searching, and discovered that there’s not much out there to help, so I thought a blog post showing exactly how to get at this information would be in order. Basically, what you end up doing is using System.DirectoryServices to search for accounts and then filtering those for users, doing some conversion and such to make it happen.  Basically, the end result of this is that you get a list of users with their logon information and you can then do with that what you will.  I turned my list into an observable collection and bound it into a XAML form. One important note, you need to add a reference to ActiveDs Type Library in the COM section of the world in references to get to LargeInteger. Here’s the class: namespace Veracity.Utilities { using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.DirectoryServices; using ActiveDs; using log4net; /// <summary> /// Finds users inside of the active directory system. /// </summary> public class UserFinder { /// <summary> /// Creates the default logger /// </summary> private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(UserFinder)); /// <summary> /// Finds last logon information /// </summary> /// <param name="domain">The domain to search.</param> /// <param name="userName">The username for the query.</param> /// <param name="password">The password for the query.</param> /// <returns>A list of users with their last logon information.</returns> public IList<UserLoginInformation> GetLastLogonInformation(string domain, string userName, string password) { IList<UserLoginInformation> result = new List<UserLoginInformation>(); DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(domain, userName, password, AuthenticationTypes.Secure); DirectorySearcher directorySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry); directorySearcher.PropertyNamesOnly = true; directorySearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name"); directorySearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("lastLogonTimeStamp"); SearchResultCollection searchResults; try { searchResults = directorySearcher.FindAll(); } catch (System.Exception ex) { log.Error("Failed to do a find all.", ex); throw; } try { foreach (SearchResult searchResult in searchResults) { DirectoryEntry resultEntry = searchResult.GetDirectoryEntry(); if (resultEntry.SchemaClassName == "user") { UserLoginInformation logon = new UserLoginInformation(); logon.Name = resultEntry.Name; PropertyValueCollection timeStampObject = resultEntry.Properties["lastLogonTimeStamp"]; if (timeStampObject.Count > 0) { IADsLargeInteger logonTimeStamp = (IADsLargeInteger)timeStampObject[0]; long lastLogon = (long)((uint)logonTimeStamp.LowPart + (((long)logonTimeStamp.HighPart) << 32)); logon.LastLogonTime = DateTime.FromFileTime(lastLogon); } result.Add(logon); } } } catch (System.Exception ex) { log.Error("Failed to iterate search results.", ex); throw; } return result; } } } Some important things to note: Username and Password can be set to null and if your computer us part of the domain, this may still work. Domain should be set to something like LDAP://servername/CN=Users,CN=Domain,CN=com You’re actually getting a com object back, so that’s why the LongInteger conversions are happening.  The class for UserLoginInformation looks like this:   namespace Veracity.Utilities { using System; /// <summary> /// Represents user login information. /// </summary> public class UserLoginInformation { /// <summary> /// Gets or sets Name /// </summary> public string Name { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets LastLogonTime /// </summary> public DateTime LastLogonTime { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Gets the age of the account. /// </summary> public TimeSpan AccountAge { get { TimeSpan result = TimeSpan.Zero; if (this.LastLogonTime != DateTime.MinValue) { result = DateTime.Now.Subtract(this.LastLogonTime); } return result; } } } } I hope this is useful and instructive.

  • C# Active Directory - Check username / password

    - by Michael G
    I'm using the following code on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 to query our active directory server to check the user name and password of a user on a domain. public Object IsAuthenticated() { String domainAndUsername = strDomain + @"\" + strUser; DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(_path, domainAndUsername, strPass); SearchResult result; try { //Bind to the native AdsObject to force authentication. DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(entry) { Filter = ("(SAMAccountName=" + strUser + ")") }; search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("givenName"); // First Name search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn"); // Last Name search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn"); // Last Name result = search.FindOne(); if (null == result) { return null; } //Update the new path to the user in the directory. _path = result.Path; _filterAttribute = (String)result.Properties["cn"][0]; } catch (Exception ex) { return new Exception("Error authenticating user. " + ex.Message); } return user; } the target is using .NET 3.5, and compiled with VS 2008 standard I'm logged in under a domain account that is a domain admin where the application is running. The code works perfectly on windows XP; but i get the following exception when running it on Vista: System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007052E): Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindAll(Boolean findMoreThanOne) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindOne() at Chain_Of_Custody.Classes.Authentication.LdapAuthentication.IsAuthenticated() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindAll(Boolean findMoreThanOne) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindOne() at Chain_Of_Custody.Classes.Authentication.LdapAuthentication.IsAuthenticated() I've tried changing the authentication types, I'm not sure what's going on.

  • directory services group query changing randomly

    - by yamspog
    I am receiving an unusual behaviour in my asp.net application. I have code that uses Directory Services to find the AD groups for a given, authenticated user. The code goes something like ... string username = "user"; string domain = "LDAP://DC=domain,DC=com"; DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(domain); search.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + username + ")"; And then I query and get the list of groups for the given user. The problem is that the code was receiving the list of groups as a list of strings. With our latest release of the software, we are starting to receive the list of groups as a byte[]. The system will return string, suddenly return byte[] and then with a reboot it returns string again. Anyone have any ideas? code sample: DirectoryEntry dirEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + ldapSearchBase); DirectorySearcher userSearcher = new DirectorySearcher(dirEntry) { SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree, CacheResults = false, Filter = ("(" + txtLdapSearchNameFilter.Text + "=" + userName + ")") }; userResult = userSearcher.FindOne(); ResultPropertyValueCollection valCol = userResult.Properties["memberOf"]; foreach (object val in valCol) { if (val is string) { distName = val.ToString(); } else { distName = enc.GetString((Byte[])val); } }

  • WPF Login Verification Using Active Directory

    - by psheriff
    Back in October of 2009 I created a WPF login screen (Figure 1) that just showed how to create the layout for a login screen. That one sample is probably the most downloaded sample we have. So in this blog post, I thought I would update that screen and also hook it up to show how to authenticate your user against Active Directory. Figure 1: Original WPF Login Screen I have updated not only the code behind for this login screen, but also the look and feel as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: An Updated WPF Login Screen The UI To create the UI for this login screen you can refer to my October of 2009 blog post to see how to create the borderless window. You can then look at the sample code to see how I created the linear gradient brush for the background. There are just a few differences in this screen compared to the old version. First, I changed the key image and instead of using words for the Cancel and Login buttons, I used some icons. Secondly I added a text box to hold the Domain name that you wish to authenticate against. This text box is automatically filled in if you are connected to a network. In the Window_Loaded event procedure of the winLogin window you can retrieve the user’s domain name from the Environment.UserDomainName property. For example: txtDomain.Text = Environment.UserDomainName The ADHelper Class Instead of coding the call to authenticate the user directly in the login screen I created an ADHelper class. This will make it easier if you want to add additional AD calls in the future. The ADHelper class contains just one method at this time called AuthenticateUser. This method authenticates a user name and password against the specified domain. The login screen will gather the credentials from the user such as their user name and password, and also the domain name to authenticate against. To use this ADHelper class you will need to add a reference to the System.DirectoryServices.dll in .NET. The AuthenticateUser Method In order to authenticate a user against your Active Directory you will need to supply a valid LDAP path string to the constructor of the DirectoryEntry class. The LDAP path string will be in the format LDAP://DomainName. You will also pass in the user name and password to the constructor of the DirectoryEntry class as well. With a DirectoryEntry object populated with this LDAP path string, the user name and password you will now pass this object to the constructor of a DirectorySearcher object. You then perform the FindOne method on the DirectorySearcher object. If the DirectorySearcher object returns a SearchResult then the credentials supplied are valid. If the credentials are not valid on the Active Directory then an exception is thrown. C#public bool AuthenticateUser(string domainName, string userName,  string password){  bool ret = false;   try  {    DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + domainName,                                           userName, password);    DirectorySearcher dsearch = new DirectorySearcher(de);    SearchResult results = null;     results = dsearch.FindOne();     ret = true;  }  catch  {    ret = false;  }   return ret;} Visual Basic Public Function AuthenticateUser(ByVal domainName As String, _ ByVal userName As String, ByVal password As String) As Boolean  Dim ret As Boolean = False   Try    Dim de As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & domainName, _                                 userName, password)    Dim dsearch As New DirectorySearcher(de)    Dim results As SearchResult = Nothing     results = dsearch.FindOne()     ret = True  Catch    ret = False  End Try   Return retEnd Function In the Click event procedure under the Login button you will find the following code that will validate the credentials that the user types into the login window. C#private void btnLogin_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){  ADHelper ad = new ADHelper();   if(ad.AuthenticateUser(txtDomain.Text,         txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Password))    DialogResult = true;  else    MessageBox.Show("Unable to Authenticate Using the                      Supplied Credentials");} Visual BasicPrivate Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)  Dim ad As New ADHelper()   If ad.AuthenticateUser(txtDomain.Text, txtUserName.Text, _                         txtPassword.Password) Then    DialogResult = True  Else    MessageBox.Show("Unable to Authenticate Using the                      Supplied Credentials")  End IfEnd Sub Displaying the Login Screen At some point when your application launches, you will need to display your login screen modally. Below is the code that you would call to display the login form (named winLogin in my sample application). This code is called from the main application form, and thus the owner of the login screen is set to “this”. You then call the ShowDialog method on the login screen to have this form displayed modally. After the user clicks on one of the two buttons you need to check to see what the DialogResult property was set to. The DialogResult property is a nullable type and thus you first need to check to see if the value has been set. C# private void DisplayLoginScreen(){  winLogin win = new winLogin();   win.Owner = this;  win.ShowDialog();  if (win.DialogResult.HasValue && win.DialogResult.Value)    MessageBox.Show("User Logged In");  else    this.Close();} Visual Basic Private Sub DisplayLoginScreen()  Dim win As New winLogin()   win.Owner = Me  win.ShowDialog()  If win.DialogResult.HasValue And win.DialogResult.Value Then    MessageBox.Show("User Logged In")  Else    Me.Close()  End IfEnd Sub Summary Creating a nice looking login screen is fairly simple to do in WPF. Using the Active Directory services from a WPF application should make your desktop programming task easier as you do not need to create your own user authentication system. I hope this article gave you some ideas on how to create a login screen in WPF. NOTE: You can download the complete sample code for this blog entry at my website: http://www.pdsa.com/downloads.

  • Correct method to search for AD user by email address from .NET

    - by BrianLy
    I'm having some issues with code that is intended to find a user in Active Directory by searching on their email address. I have tried 2 methods but I'm sometimes finding that the FindOne() method will not return any results on some occasions. If I look up the user in the GAL in Outlook I see the SMTP email address listed. My end goal is to confirm that the user exists in AD. I only have the email address as search criteria, so no way to use first or last name. Method 1: Using mail property: DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(entry); search.Filter = "(mail=" + email + ")"; search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail"); SearchResult result = search.FindOne(); Method 2: proxyAddresses property: DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(entry); search.Filter = "(proxyAddresses=SMTP:" + email + ")"; // I've also tried with =smtp: search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail"); SearchResult result = search.FindOne(); I've tried changing the case of the email address input but it still does not return a result. Is there a problem here with case sensitivity? If so, what is the best way to resolve it?

  • AD Password About to Expire check problem with ASP.Net

  • get local groups and not the primary groups for a domain user

    - by user175084
    i have a code to get the groups a user belongs to. try { DirectoryEntry adRoot = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("WinNT://{0}", Environment.UserDomainName)); DirectoryEntry user = adRoot.Children.Find(completeUserName, "User"); object obGroups = user.Invoke("Groups"); foreach (object ob in (IEnumerable)obGroups) { // Create object for each group. DirectoryEntry obGpEntry = new DirectoryEntry(ob); listOfMyWindowsGroups.Add(obGpEntry.Name); } return true; } catch (Exception ex) { new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile("Error in getting User MachineGroups = " + ex); return false; } the above code works fine when i have to find the groups of a local user but for a domain user it returns a value "Domain User" which is kind of wierd as it is a part of 2 local groups. Please can some1 help in solving this mystery. thanks Research I did some finding and got that i am being returned the primary group of the domain user called "Domain User" group but what i actually want is the groups of the local machines the domain user is a part of... i cannot get that.. any suggestions another code using LDAP string domain = Environment.UserDomainName; DirectoryEntry DE = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + domain, null, null, AuthenticationTypes.Secure); DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(); search.SearchRoot = DE; search.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + completeUserName + ")"; //Searches active directory for the login name search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("displayName"); // Once found, get a list of Groups try { SearchResult result = search.FindOne(); // Grab the records and assign them to result if (result != null) { DirectoryEntry theUser = result.GetDirectoryEntry(); theUser.RefreshCache(new string[] { "tokenGroups" }); foreach (byte[] resultBytes in theUser.Properties["tokenGroups"]) { System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier mySID = new System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(resultBytes, 0); DirectorySearcher sidSearcher = new DirectorySearcher(); sidSearcher.SearchRoot = DE; sidSearcher.Filter = "(objectSid=" + mySID.Value + ")"; sidSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("distinguishedName"); SearchResult sidResult = sidSearcher.FindOne(); if (sidResult != null) { listOfMyWindowsGroups.Add((string)sidResult.Properties["distinguishedName"][0]); } } } else { new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile("no user found"); } return true; } catch (Exception ex) { new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile("Error obtaining group names: " + ex.Message + " Please contact your administrator."); // If an error occurs report it to the user. return false; } this works too but i get the same result "Domain Users" . Please can some1 tell me how to get the local machine groups...????

  • Local active directory access and management for development?

    - by Huck
    Hi everybody, In an application we are developpment, we are accessing Active Directory users and groups using the .Net DirectoryEntry and DirectorySearcher classes. Managing the test groups and users during development is getting tedious. I am wondering if there was an easy way to setup a simple local AD in which we could easily create / delete users and assign them or remove them from groups as we want with the DirectoryEntry / DirectorySearcher classes? Thanks.

Why is that? I don't want to have all results in just one page. I know that PageSize = 2 is silly small but I set that value in this case just for testing purpose (in reality it will be more).

    Hello, Here's some code: DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(); searcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=" + lstUsers.SelectedItem.Text + "))"; SearchResult result = searcher.FindOne(); Within result.Properties["useraccountcontrol"] will be an item which will give me a value depending on the state of the account. For instance, a value of 66050 means I'm dealing with: A normal account; where the password does not expire;which has been disabled. Explanation here. What's the most concise way of finding out if my value "contains" the AccountDisable flag (which is 2) Thanks in advance!

    I have this code currently, string defaultNamingContext; DirectoryEntry rootDSE = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE"); defaultNamingContext = rootDSE.Properties["defaultNamingContext"].Value.ToString(); rootDSE = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + defaultNamingContext); //DirectoryEntry domain = new DirectoryEntry((string)"LDAP://" + defaultNamingContext); DirectorySearcher ouSearch = new DirectorySearcher(rootDSE,"(objectCategory=Organizational-Unit)", null, SearchScope.Subtree); MessageBox.Show(rootDSE.Path.ToString()); try { SearchResultCollection collectedResult = ouSearch.FindAll(); foreach (SearchResult temp in collectedResult) { comboBox1.Items.Add(temp.Properties["name"][0]); DirectoryEntry ou = temp.GetDirectoryEntry(); } } When i use the debugger i can see that rootDSE.Path is infact pointing to the right place, in this case "DC=g-t-p,DC=Local" but the directory searcher doesn't find any results. Can anyone help?

  • How to get a list of all domains?

    - by AngryHacker
    I'm trying to get all domains that are available in the Windows Login dialog (in the Domain dropdown). I've tried the following code but it only returns the domain I am logged into. Am I missing something? StringCollection domainList = new StringCollection(); try { DirectoryEntry en = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://"); // Search for objectCategory type "Domain" DirectorySearcher srch = new DirectorySearcher("objectCategory=Domain"); SearchResultCollection coll = srch.FindAll(); // Enumerate over each returned domain. foreach (SearchResult rs in coll) { ResultPropertyCollection resultPropColl = rs.Properties; foreach( object domainName in resultPropColl["name"]) { domainList.Add(domainName.ToString()); } } } catch (Exception ex) { Trace.Write(ex.Message); } return domainList;

  • Get machine name from Active Directory

    - by Stephen Murby
    I have performed an "LDAP://" query to get a list of computers within a specified OU, my issue is not being able to collect just the computer "name" or even "cn". DirectoryEntry toShutdown = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + comboBox1.Text.ToString()); DirectorySearcher machineSearch = new DirectorySearcher(toShutdown); //machineSearch.Filter = "(objectCatergory=computer)"; machineSearch.Filter = "(objectClass=computer)"; machineSearch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree; machineSearch.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name"); SearchResultCollection allMachinesCollected = machineSearch.FindAll(); Methods myMethods = new Methods(); string pcName; foreach (SearchResult oneMachine in allMachinesCollected) { //pcName = oneMachine.Properties.PropertyNames.ToString(); pcName = oneMachine.Properties["name"].ToString(); MessageBox.Show(pcName); } Help much appreciated.

  • return not breaking loop (c#)

    - by David Wick
    I'm trying to determine if a user is a member of a group or not in AD. However, the following doesn't seem to be working for some reason... public bool MemberOf(string sObjectName, string sGroup, bool bIsGroup) { DirectoryEntry dEntry = CreateDirectoryEntry(); DirectorySearcher dSearcher = new DirectorySearcher(dEntry); if (bIsGroup) dSearcher.Filter = "(distinguishedName=" + sObjectName + ")"; else dSearcher.Filter = "(&(sAMAccountName=" + sObjectName + ")(objectClass=user))"; SearchResult sResult = dSearcher.FindOne(); if (sResult != null) { foreach (object oGroup in sResult.Properties["MemberOf"]) { if (oGroup.ToString() == sGroup) return true; else this.MemberOf(oGroup.ToString(), sGroup, true); } } return false; } Another variation: http://users.business.uconn.edu/dwick/work/wtf/6-14-2010%201-15-15%20PM.png Doesn't work either. This seems like a really dumb question... but shouldn't it break the loop upon "return true;"

  • Oracle & Active Directory : A love/hate relationship

    - by Frank
    Hi SO'ers, I'm currently trying to access Active Directory via the dbms_ldap API in Pl/Sql (Oracle). The trouble is that I'm not able to connect with my own username and password or anynoymously. However, in C# I can connect anonymously with this code : DirectoryEntry ldap = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://Hostname"); DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(ldap); searcher.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=username)"; SearchResult result = searcher.FindOne(); If I try to connect anonymously in Oracle, I only get the error(ORA-31202 : LDAP client/server error) when I try to search (and the result code for the bind is SUCCESS)... my_session := dbms_ldap.init('HOST','389'); retval := dbms_ldap.simple_bind_s(my_session, '', ''); retval := dbms_ldap.search_s(my_session, ldap_base, dbms_ldap.scope_subtree, 'objectclass=*', my_attrs, 0, my_message); Why is the anonymous connection is C# works but doesn't work in Pl/Sql? Do you have any other idea to connect to Active Directory via Oracle? Help me reunite them together. Thanks. Edit When I bind with anonymous credentials I get : ORA-31202: DBMS_LDAP: LDAP client/server error 00000000: LdapErr: DSID-0C090627, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection And if I try to connect with my credentials, which are supposed to be valid since I'm connected to the domain with it... I get : ORA-31202: DBMS_LDAP: LDAP client/server error Invalid credentials 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090334, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error

' im not ready to put labels on the frontend or catch this info yet End Function The function appears to work, as when I put a breakpoint at the end, the variables such as ADDN do have the correct values. Then I call the function in my page_load like this: GetAdInfo(ADDN, ADCommonName, ADGivenName, ADStaffnum, ADEmail, ADDescription, ADTelephone, ADOffice, ADEmployeeID) Then I try to response.write out one of the vars to test like this: Response.Write(ADDN) But the value is empty. Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks

  • Unable to get ncName and netBIOSName Properties

    - by Randz
    I've some code on the net regarding retrieval of NetBIOSName (Pre-windows 2000 domain name) of an Active Directory Domain. Here's my code sample: Me._rootDSE = New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("GC://RootDSE", "", "") Dim results As System.DirectoryServices.SearchResultCollection = Nothing Dim ADSPath As String = "GC://CN=Partitions," + Me._rootDSE.Properties("configurationNamingContext").Value.ToString() Dim adse As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(ADSPath, "", "") Dim searcher As System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher searcher = New System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher(adse) searcher.SearchScope = DirectoryServices.SearchScope.OneLevel searcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=crossRef)(systemflags=3))" searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("netbiosname") searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("ncname") results = searcher.FindAll() If results.Count > 0 Then For Each sr As System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult In results Dim de As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = sr.GetDirectoryEntry() 'netbiosname and ncname properties returns nothing System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(sr.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties("netbiosname").Value.ToString()) System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(sr.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties("ncname").Value.ToString()) Next End If When I am using the "(&(objectClass=crossRef)(systemFlags=3))" filter, I am not getting any result, but when I removed the systemFlags filter, I get some results. However, on the search results that I got, I still cannot access the values of ncName and NetBIOSName properties. I can get other properties like distinguishedName and CN of the search result properly. Any idea on what I might be doing wrong, or where to look further?

  • Ldap query returns null result when deployed.

    - by Trey Carroll
    I'm using a very simple Ldap query in my asp.net mvc 2.0 site: String ldapPath = ConfigReader.LdapPath; String emailAddress = null; try { DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(ConfigReader.LdapPath); search.Filter = String.Format("(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(objectSid={0})) ", securityIdentifierValue); // add the mail property to the list of props to retrieve search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail"); var result = search.FindOne(); if (result == null) { throw new Exception("Ldap Query with filter:" + search.Filter.ToString() + " returned a null value (no match found)"); } else { emailAddress = result.Properties["mail"][0].ToString(); } } catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException aoorEx) { throw new Exception( "The query could not find an email for this user."); } catch (Exception ex) { //_log.Error(string.Format("======!!!!!! ERROR ERROR ERROR !!!!! in LdapLookupUtil.cs getEmailFromLdap Exception: {0}", ex)); throw ex; } return emailAddress; It works fine on my localhost machine. It works fine when I run it in VS2010 on the server. It always returns a null result when deployed. Here is my web.config: Asp.Net Configuration option in Visual Studio. A full list of settings and comments can be found in machine.config.comments usually located in \Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.x\Config -- section enables configuration of the security authentication mode used by ASP.NET to identify an incoming user. -- <!-- -- section enables configuration of what to do if/when an unhandled error occurs during the execution of a request. Specifically, it enables developers to configure html error pages to be displayed in place of a error stack trace. -- I'm running it under the default app pool. Does anybody see the problem? This is driving me crazy!

  • Active Directory login - DirectoryEntry inconsistent exception

    - by Pavan Reddy
    I need to validate the LDAP user by checking if there exists such a user name in the specified domain. For this I am using this code - DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + strDomainController); DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry); searcher.Filter = "SAMAccountName=" + strUserName; SearchResult result = searcher.FindOne(); return (result != null) ? true : false; This is a method in a class library which I intened to reference and use whereever I need this functionality in my project. To test this, I created a simple test application. The test occurs like this - Console.WriteLine(MyClassLib.MyValidateUserMethod("UserName", "Domain",ref strError).ToString()); The problem I am facing is that this works fine when I test it with my testapp but in my project, when I try to use the same method with the same credentials - The DirectoryEntry object throws an "System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException" exception and the search.Filter fails and throws ex = {"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.\r\n"} exception. I have tried impersonation but that doesn't help. Somehow the same method works fine in mytestapp and doesn't work in my project. Both these applications are in my local dev machine. What am I missing? Any ideas?

  • LDAP Query for OU's

    - by Stephen Murby
    Sorry for being an uber pain people, its all very new :( Already had alot of help on this, but don't seem to be able to see the problem, I am trying to populate a combo box with a list of all the current OU's, later to send each machine within that OU a shutdown command. (Acquiring AD OU list & Active Directory list OU's) were my previous Q's. string defaultNamingContext; //TODO 0 - Acquire and display the available OU's DirectoryEntry rootDSE = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE"); defaultNamingContext = rootDSE.Properties["defaultNamingContext"].Value.ToString(); DirectoryEntry entryToQuery = new DirectoryEntry ("LDAP://" + defaultNamingContext); MessageBox.Show(entryToQuery.Path.ToString()); DirectorySearcher ouSearch = new DirectorySearcher(entryToQuery.Path); ouSearch.Filter = "(objectCatergory=organizationalUnit)"; ouSearch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree; ouSearch.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name"); SearchResultCollection allOUS = ouSearch.FindAll(); foreach (SearchResult oneResult in allOUS) { //comboBox1.Items.Add(oneResult.ToString()); comboBox1.Items.Add(oneResult.Properties["name"][0]); } I have been through and debugged everything i know, the searcher isn't picking up any results, hence why nothing is populated in the combo box.
