ldapUserRecord

Syntax	ldapUserRecord(attrib, ldapQuery)	Package	ldap
Alias	ldapUserRecord(attrib, cn, dn, memberof, email, ldapObjectClass) //deprecated	Pkg Usage	userRecord(attrib, ldapQuery)

This syntax is deprecated and you should use the new alias name: ldapUserAttr instead.

Description

Returns an array of the requested attribute. This is a LDAP search function. The second function syntax is more comfortable. Both get the LDAP record and shows the attribute of that user. Returned user must be unique, otherwise exception occurs.

Allowed attributes are (these are case sensitive):

CN
DN
firstName
lastName
displayName
title
department
division
officeName (mapped on physicalDeliveryOfficeName attribute)
company
empID
manager
mail
otherMailbox
mobile
homePhone
workPhone
userPrincipalName
winPrincipalName

Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Required	Description

Parameter name	Type	Required	Description
attrib	String	Yes	Attribute to be returned.
ldapQuery	String	Yes	Query, must return exactly one result.

Return Type

String []

The values of the specified attribute. If the attribute only has one value, the array will contain only one element, but will still be an array and not a single string.

Examples

Example

ldapUserRecord("mobile", user, "", "", "", "user");
//gets the mobile attribute from LDAP user with specified CN

OpenDS example

string email = ldapUserRecord("mail", "(&(uid=user.1)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))");
         string address = ldapUserRecord("postalAddress", "(&(uid=user.1)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))");

LDAP must be configured. See LDAP configuration page.

Only Microsoft Active Directory is supported at this time, but it might work with other as well (tested with OpenDS). To provide support for other LDAP types contact us.
