How to add LDAP User using Java SDK?

Posted on Aug 25, 2010 at 03:34 AM 86 Views

Dear All, I am developing a customized web application using Java SDK. My aim is to create LDAP users from my application as we create using CMC. We are on BOXI R2 SP3 using Tomcat as web apps on windows server 2003. We have already integrated LDAP and can create LDAP users using CMC. I want to create users using my custom application so that I can setup many rights automatically. This will save administrators lots of time while creating a new LDAP user. We have to setup lots of right and has delegated this user creation admin work to Business Users. I can already create enterprise users. I tried various options but it creates enterprise users not LDAP.

Thanks,

    You don't create LDAP users on BusinessObjects Enterprise.

    You configure LDAP authentication on BusinessObjects Enterprise, then define the groups you want it to import.

      In the below section. I replaced the code to add Enterprise users with the one for LDAP. This will help developers in future

      Old Code is replaced by new code:

      // Set the user object's InfoObject properties.

      iObject.setTitle (accountName);

      iObject.setDescription (description);

      objectID = iObject.getID();

      New LDAP Code which replaced above code:

      // Set the user object's InfoObject properties.

      IUser user = (IUser)newInfoObjects.get(0);

      user.setTitle(accountName);

      user.setDescription (description);

      objectID = user.getID();

      user.getAliases().addNew("secLDAP:" + accountName,false);

      This works great. Thanks to this Forum. Next step for me is to assign individual Advanced rights on this user ( and its Inbox) to other groups. So lets see how it goes.

      Thanks,
