Availability

This routine is available starting with SIL Engine™ 3.0.

Syntax

ldapUserAttr(attrib, ldapQuery[, ldapName])

Description

Returns an array of the requested attribute. This is an LDAP search routine.

It gets the LDAP record and shows the attribute of that user. Returned user must be unique otherwise exception occurs. You can retrieve any attribute defined in the scheme.

Alias

ldapUserRecord(attrib, ldapQuery) (deprecated)

Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Required	Description
attrib	string	yes	Attribute to be returned.
ldapQuery	string	yes	Query, must return exactly one result.
ldapName	string	No	Optional, stating with version 4.0, you can specify the LDAP server that must be searched. If missing, it's the default LDAP server.

Returns

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.

OpenDS Example

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

Notes

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.
