vRO 7 Active Directory plugin return objects of computer when type is set to 'user '.

First of all, I would like to say that so far its looking like the AD plugin provided with vRO 7 actually work with our directory.  The last time I tested, it was still too slow and unstable.  I don't know if it's something on our end or the result of the changes made vRO team but its promising.

I'm curious to know if I'm testing something wrong however.  Looks like using functions return types of objects other than "User" when I specify this type of ActiveDirectory.search*.  I certainly see computer objects.  If I specify "ComputerAD" as the type search filtering seems to work because I see only the computers.

Also, is there a way to specify the field to search?  We created a workflow that is enveloping the dsquery command and query against specific fields.  Is there a way to format the query string for target field?

If you check the schema Active directory, you will see that, for example, the computer object is subclass of the user. What makes the user object type.

If you look at the property of a user object's objectClass, you will find the following object classes "person; organizationalPersion, high; user ".

If you look at the objectClass for a computer object property, you will find the following object classes "high; person; organizationalPersion; computer user.

When AD plugin runs the query for user objetcs, it limited the result based on the object class by asking all objects that have at least after classes "person; organizationalPersion, high; user", but does not specify that class of the object hierarchy does not contain others. That's why he also returns in the form of the user computer.

We maintain this behavior for bakward compatibility with the old version of the plugin, but I agree that it wise to limit your search only to the objects 'User '. You can open a request from client for the appropriate follow-up.

> Also, is there a way to specify the field to search?  We created a workflow that is enveloping the dsquery command and query against specific fields.  Is there a way to format the query string for target field?

As much as I know there is no such possibiliy in current plguin. There are several requests about the generic search method allowing the use of the LDAP syntax directly to mark against ad server. We are considering adding these features to the plugin, but it is a metter of priorities.  Somethig like AdHost.search (ldpa_query_string)

Not sure if this will solve your use cases. Could you give a little more detais arround it. Example of workflow will also help.

  • Active Directory plugin returning only 999 results

    I feel like I probably missing a simple vCO somewhere configuration item.  When I try to use the Active Directory plugin I get only a partial inventory if I try to select an object in the OU has more than 999 objects.  I am trying to run the workflow to add a computer to a group of users, but I can not select the Group of users that we have several thousand.  I think I can accomplish what I need programmatically, but if I want to allow for selections in one place, it would fail.  Y at - it somewhere I can inflate the number of results?

    This limit comes from the AD. This is the default MaxPageSize limit.

    You can change it by following this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315071&SD=Tech

    Another option is to change how you search for input parameters.

    You can try the following:

    1. duplicate your workflow.

    2. open to change

    3. change the way how to find for each entry in the presentation tab:

    a. Select the entry

    b. go to the tab "Properties".

    c. modify the Select value of property as "list".

    4. save the workflow

    In this way, you will limit the search by the name that you type in the search field

    Hope this helps

  • Active Directory plugin does not work correctly

    I'm having some weird problems with the Active Directory plugin uses the native vCO in vCAC.

    • When I use virtually any element of the workflow associated with the AD plugin I get a UI glitch and cannot select anything, this happens especially with the AD:Host selector.
    • When I use the AD:OU selector I can only watch the OUs that are at the root of the domain and can not enter in the OU structure.
    • When I use the ActiveDirectory.search function I have still no matches.
    • I get a lot of these errors for various object in the newspapers: [ADObjectFactory] error creating object ID: OR OR = Groups, DC =, DC = domain


    So far, I tried the following:

    • Updated the host AD to use different users who have domain administrator rights.
    • Tried to change the host to use the catalogue global (3268) and regular LDAP port (389)
    • Restart the services server and vCO several times.
    • Temporary files deleted through the configurator.

    Anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem? The ad server is Server 2012.

    So I thought that the problem. When you configure endpoint AD you must specify the root of the advertising in the field of the ldapBase. If there is a space after the comma that separates values DC (dc =, dc = server) you will end up with the weird error state.

  • OMSA v7.4 64-bit Active Directory Plugin

    Hello - I loaded 64 bit OMSA v7.4 more 7.401 patch.  There is an Active Directory of the 32-bit plugin, but no 64-bit plugin.  The 32-bit plugin does not load (says I need the 64-bit plugin).

    Dell just introduced the 64-bit plugin AD v7.4?  I don't know what the plugin does, because I was able to login to OMSA using domain\username of the user-name.

    The AD plugin is not required for 64 bit OMSA?

    Hudson8,

    The plugin is not necessary with the 64-bit version of the OMSA. You were able to confirm to be able to connect with the credentials of the AD. Everything should be functional, as it is after he has installed.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problem with the Active Directory plugin

    I am trying to create some decom workflow automation based on the Microsoft/AD plugin (version 1.0.5) on my box of vCO 5.5.2. I'm running into a weird error and I hope that someone can help you.

    Right now, just trying to take advantage of the ActiveDirectory.searchExactmatch () function to return an AD:ComputerAD object. The script is the following:

    var computers = ActiveDirectory.searchExactmatch("ComputerAD", Name, 1);
    if (computers != null){
       var actionResult = computers[0]; 
    }
    

    My workflow takes as input of type string, type ActiveDirectory AD:ActiveDirectory name and has an attribute of type actionResult AD:ComputerAD. I am constantly getting this error - TypeError: cannot find searchExactmatch function in the object notfound. (Workflow: fast / Scriptable task (item1) #54823) - apparently, which indicates that the AD:ActiveDirectory object is not found.


    Maybe there is something to permissions for this, but I ran the workflow as a domain administrator and I still have this error. When I run the workflow, I am able to successfully navigate my AD resource:

    selectAD.png

    Any ideas?

    Are you really sure that you have an input parameter named ActiveDirectory? ActiveDirectory is a singleton object script, so it's not really appropriate for the input parameter. Singletons are visible everywhere in the script code, and you can use . (...) to call its methods.

    BTW, by setting convention names must not start with the capital letter; for example. Name should be the name. Please stick to this convention in order to avoid name conflicts.

    Then it seems that you misspelled the name of the method that call you. Instead of searchExactmatch we searchExactMatch (with capital "M").

  • Transition from Active Directory objects always results in objects 'not found '.

    Hello

    I have a use case where I need to pass objects generated by the AD Plugin. What I mean by the way is "pass" of an element to the element in a workflow. For example, I have an action that gets the user of an ad object and rewritten it in a workflow attribute. The next action in the workflow will be this attribute and process it further.

    Another use case would be that I have a workflow and several assets directories configured within the AD Plugin and so I want the user to specify what AD to use. So the AD:ActiveDirectory is an input parameter which is treated in the workflow.

    In both cases I am running into the same error: the AD:Object initially is not found, created and defined. I can check this using a few outputs System.log(""), printing AD-object data in the console. However, at the time when a next action will reference the AD:Object input parameter / attribute the workflow raises a null pointer exception, saying that the AD:Object is not found. When we look at worklfow series in display variables that I see the AD:Object reference is missing, not showing "found - missing element."

    I configured an instance of AD LDS (Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services) on a Windows Server 2008 R2. I created the users and a user admin "tadmin" that has been added to the members directors. I've also made sure to set the msDS-UserAccountDisabled property.

    After the restart Weblogic, I see that users and groups in AD LDS are properly recovered in Weblogic. But, when I try to connect to my application using Username:tadmin and the password: <>... it doesn't.

    Here's what I see in the log file:

    So, I tried to watch why did I: < DN for user tadmin: null >. The Apache Directory Studio I have reproduced the ldap search request used in Weblogic, and of course, I get no results. But, change filter only "(& (cn = tadmin)(objectclass=user))" (NOTICE, no userAccountControl), it works; Here is the result of Apache Directory Studio:

    #!SEARCH REQUEST (145) OK
    #!CONNECTION ldap://10.20.150.4:5000
    #!DATE 2014-01-23T14:52:09.324

    #!DATE 2014-01-23T14:52:09.356
    # numEntries : 1
    
    
    

    (the "[email protected]" is defined as userPrincipalName in the tadmin on AD LDS user)

    As you can see, ' numEntries #: 1 "(and I can see as a result the entry ' CN = tadmin, CN = wl, DC = in, DC = com ' in Apache Directory Studio interface); If I add the userAccountControl filter I get 0.

    I read the AD LDS does not use userAccountControl but "uses several individual attributes to store the information contained in the userAccountControl attribute flags"; Among these attributes is msDS-UserAccountDisabled, which, as I said, I already have the value FALSE.

    So, my question is, how do I run? Why do I get "< DN for user tadmin: null >"? What is the userAccountControl? If this is the case, should I do a different configuration on my AD LDS? Or, how can I get rid of the userAccountControl filter into Weblogic?

    I don't seem to find the configuration files or in the interface: I don't have that "user of the name filter: (& (cn = %u)(objectclass=user))", there is no userAccountControl.»

    Another difference is that, even if in Weblogic, I put compatible ssl false flag, the newspaper I see ldaps and ldap, I noticed (I don't mean to install something ready for production and I don't want SSL for the moment).

    Here are some other things I tried, but doesn't change anything:

    -other attributes '-FS' were not resolved, so I tried their initialization to a value

    -J' tried other users defined in AD LDS, not tadmin

    -in Weblogic, I added users who were imported from AD LDS into the policies and roles > Kingdom roles > Global roles > roles > Admin

    -J' removed all occurrences of userAccountControl I found xml files in Weblogic (schema.ms.xml, schema.msad2003.xml)

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you.

    In the case of some other poor soul will fall on this issue: I did this job by configuring a generic ldap authenticator.

  • Active Directory for authentication - authorization database

    Hello

    I searched a lot but could not find a way to work to do and I have Weblogic Server 10.3.4. My problem is; I currently have an Authenticator SQL read-only which validates the name of user and password and he also holds a group membership of those users. Thus, the when users are connected to our Flex application, they are authenticated and authorized through this security provider. Now, I want to * move the part name validation of username/password to Active Directory * and group membership and other roles etc will stay in the read-only SQL authenticator. To do this, I added the second security provider to my Kingdom which is Active Directory Authenticator, but right now because users are authenticated via Active Directory roles, the etc group memberships do not come to the user, resulting in not to be able to call EJB.

    So my question is, How can I manipulate simply authenticate users to Active Directory and other parties (roles, groups) of database (in the database I don't store the password more meaningless it longer)? Do I have to write a custom provider to do this, if this is the case can show you a way to work from the merger of two suppliers of security?

    Thank you.

    Yes, you will need to create a security provider for this.

  • LDAP (Active Directory) questioning 'current user '.

    I went through a lot of things on it, but I would appreciate a response summary of this (probably...) FAQ:

    Using CF (latest and greatest) on a (I presume) IIS server, I want to be able to automatically detect the Windows identity of "the currently logged in Windows user" and through queries LDAP (Active Directory), determine its attributes and the membership authentication purposes.  The user would not be questioned to get into any sort of username or password on his.  (This is strictly an intranet application and always will be).

    In the Apache mod_ldapserver environment, I know that reliable information about the currently logged-in user can come from environment variables to make the following LDAP queries.  But I'm a little fuzzy on what I might expect/use in this situation.

    Pointers?  Hyperlinks?  Advice?

    With Windows IIS on a Windows Server in a Windows domain to a Windows client using a Windows browser it can be done easily.

    If "Windows integrated security" is selected in the IIS administrator and "Logon Anymous" is NOT checked, then the variable cgi.auth_user will be poplulate by the web server with the domain/user name of the user logged on to the client computer.

    It's pretty simple to access this cgi.auth_user value and use it in a tag to read the record of the current directory for more information about this user.

  • Active Directory 2.0 Plugin - searchExactMatch error

    There seems to be a bug in the plugin 2.0 ActiveDirectory, or I'm doing something wrong.

    When I try to switch from a host specific to the ActiveDirectory.serachExactMatch function, it doesn't seem to use it. For example:

    var user = ActiveDirectory.searchExactMatch("User","myusername",1,ad_host);
    

    If I have not configured by default AD provider, this call fails to find a user. If I have a config'ed provider by default, it can then find my user in this field by default, but is unable to use the domain that I spent.

    Make other calls defining host appear to function as:

    var computer = ActiveDirectory.getComputerAD("mycomputername",ad_host);
    

    It works very well, returns expected my computer object in the appropriate domain, only the serachExactMatch seems to have a problem.

    While I could always pass any area I am working against my default domain name, this is a hack and I prefer to see it fixed (if it is indeed a question)
