Looking for the documentation on the newest versions of SIL Engine and the Simple Issue Language for Jira 8 for Server/Data Center? Click here !

Availability

This routine is available starting with SIL Engine™ 2.5.15 for Jira 5.x and 2.6.7 for Jira 6.x.

Syntax

ldapUserList(attributes, ldapQuery[, ldapName])

Description

Returns an array of the requested attributes for all users matching the query. This is an LDAP search routine.

Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Required	Description
attributes	string []	yes	Attributes to be returned.
ldapQuery	string	yes	Query.
ldapName	string	no	LDAP server name that you have configured. If missing, it directs the query to the default LDAP server. This parameter appears at version 4.0.

Returns

string []

The values of the attributes for all users in multiples of N, where N is the number of requested attributes.
The length of the returned array will be N x M. N = number of attributes requested, M = number of users matching the query. Therefore, element at index i is the value of the attribute at position i%N from the attributes array for the (i/N)^thuser matching the query.

Example

return ldapUserList({"cn", "uid"}, "objectClass=inetOrgPerson");
//example return value: Aaron Atrc|user.3|Aarika Atpco|user.2|Aaren Atp|user.1|Aartjan Aalders|user.4|Aaccf Amar|user.0

// contains cn,uid for the 5 users matching the filter: cn1,uid1,cn2,uid2,cn3,uid3 ...

Instead of exploiting the result as an array of strings, you may map it on some structure. Following code represents the above example:

struct mystruct {
  string cn;
  string uid;
}

mystruct [] arr = ldapUserList({"cn", "uid"}, "objectClass=inetOrgPerson"); 

//now you can access it by:
string x = arr[0].cn; //life is better, huh ?

You can use this routine with the User Group Picker PRO.

Example script for SIL User Picker:

return ldapUserList({"uid"}, "(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(isMemberOf=cn=group-one,dc=example,dc=com))");

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.
