Searching LDAP using UME APIs

[Former Member]

I am trying to search fro users in LDAP using UME APIs and I encountered the following

problems.

I modified the dataSourceConfiguration.XML to search for Custom LDAP Attributes. I added a New attribute called exportControlData in the XML.

1. How do I search for Multiple Attributes? For example I want to search for

UserId=100* , department="XYZ" and exportControlData ="y"

2. How do I retrieve the value for those Custom

Attributes?

For example I search for UserID="100", then I use user.getDispalyName(), user.getEmail(),user.getDepartment() to get the values and dipslay in a table. I also need to display a custom Attribute called exportControlData for UserID=100.

3. When I do a wild card search for UserID (100*) I get SEARCH_RESULT_UNDEFINED. I can successfully do a wild card search lastname, first Name.

Is there a way how I can get this working?

Thanks

To display a custom attribute you need to use code similar to:

String expData[] = user.getAttribute(IPrincipal.DEFAULT_NAMESPACE,"exportControlData");

if (expData != null)

displayInfo("Export Data:" , expData[0]);

You need to have the datasource_xxx.xml file configured to include the attribute:

<principal type="user">

<nameSpaces>

<nameSpace name="com.sap.security.core.usermanagement">

<attributes>

<attribute name="firstname" populateInitially="true" />

<attribute name="displayname" populateInitially="true" />

<attribute name="lastname" populateInitially="true" />

. . .

<attribute name="uniquename" populateInitially="true" />

<attribute name="exportControlData" />

</attributes>

</nameSpace>

<nameSpace name="com.sap.security.core.usermanagement.relation">

<attributes>

<attribute name="PRINCIPAL_RELATION_PARENT_ATTRIBUTE" />

</attributes>

</nameSpace>

</nameSpaces>

</principal>

To search for Attribute:

IUserSearchFilter userFilt =

UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserSearchFilter();

userFilt.setSearchAttribute(IPrincipal.DEFAULT_NAMESPACE,

"exportControlData","Y",

ISearchAttribute.EQUALS_OPERATOR,true);

ISearchResult result = userFact.searchUsers(userFilt);
