Active Directory/LDAP :: Retrieve All Users And Their OrganizationalUnit?
Jan 18, 2011
I'm new to directoryServices and im trying to capture all users in the active directory and their organizational units but i'm having abit of trouble here, i've been reading through the forums and searching online but can't seem to find information that is viable to me.
Here is brief overview of what im trying to do. Im trying to create a datatable where i can insert all the usernames and their ou by capturing the values from the AD but i keep getting alot of duplicated usernames BUT in different organizationalUnits. I've checked the AD, and they do not belong so the following are my codes, but i can't seem to figure out what is wrong.
I am trying to retrieve all the users from active directory into a sorted list, but for some reason it does not return all the users like myself for instance. It's on a client's ad and there is probably about 1500+ users in AD.
I want to use the Domain Users group to show all the users in a dropdown box. For some or other reason I cannot return all the users when looking for everyone under the domain so instead I was thinking of using the domain users group.This is part of my code:
I want to learn how to add/delete/update account (including adding mail boxes for new users). Can someone point to a good book where I can begin from. I want to start with some real basics and build from there.
have a probleme with my search filter, i want to list the users of an organizational unit result.filter =(& (objectClass= user)(ou=dep1)); ====> it didn't work for me
I need to list a group of users, their group name is (IRS Group) to a list group. how to do this. I'm very new to asp.net and dont have much knowlegde about acctive directory.
I need to get list of users reporting to a particular manager from the Active directory. In the active directory there is manager property with contains the data in the following way.
I am following [URL] link to authenticate users against "actives directories" and i could successfully login using this method. how exactly can i get details of all the users displayed in my web site application when i am logged in as Administrator. I want to display user details when the user i.e.,Administrator clicks on link say "User Details"
I m writing a web page to display user name and his contact number.
I m giving user a choice to enter user name once he enter the name i should be able to search in active directory and return all user starting with (inputed name).
DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de);
//set the search filter deSearch.SearchRoot = de;[CODE]....
Above code needs exact login name like adamjo which is not the purpose.i should be able to display all possible possibilities for example if user enters adam i should give him choice to select whether he want to see adam josef or adam john e.t.c.Is there any property to find first name from active directory?
I am trying to do something that i am sure has been done before. I have a asp.net pagethat changes a password , and it works fine if I use credentials of a user with rights to a OU that holds the users container. However i would like to have the users credentials
userEntry = new DirectoryEntry(adspath,userid,this.oldPasswordtb.Text.ToString(),AuthenticationTypes.Secure);
be used when executing
userEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new Object[] {passwd});
currently I get System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args) at ASP.changepassword_aspx.__Render__control1(HtmlTextWriter __w, Control parameterContainer) in c:usrhtmlexternalChangePasswordchangepassword.aspx:line 128any ideas why that wouldn't work users I assume have right to modify that attribute of their CN right?see code below
I need to get the list of domain usrs. The users not necessorily be on the domain where I am logged in. (e.g. I am logged in on domain "Dom111" but I need the list of users from the domain "Dom222")
I want this information on the basis of following - 1) Name of the Domain 2) A valid User name (of-course with Admin rights for the Target domain) and password
I am trying to use the following code -
DirectoryContext dc = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.Domain, "Dom222", "Administrator", "password"); Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); DirectoryEntry de = domain.GetDirectoryEntry(); FillList(de);
Here is the FillList function private void FillList(DirectoryEntry de) { DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de); deSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))"; SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll(); //checkedListBox1.Items.Clear(); foreach (SearchResult srUser in results) { DirectoryEntry deUser = srUser.GetDirectoryEntry(); checkedListBox1.Items.Add(deUser.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString()); } checkedListBox1.Sorted = true; }
This works fine for the domain where I logged in (i.e. Dom111) but for the other domain (Dom222), while executing the statement - Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); I am getting the error saying "The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted."
Now, For creating the dc if I use following - DirectoryContext dcTemp = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.DirectoryServer, "Server_dom222", "administrator", "password"); Then everything works fine. But as you can see I need to pass the "Domain Controller (Server) Name"which I want to avoid.
I need to retrieve the GUID for the Current User? I've found that it's possible with DirectoryEntry, but is there a way I can do it in similar fashion to WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.User.Value - which actually returns the SID?
I need to look for an example of a web application, preferably ASP.NET but any otherweb language will do, that lets Mac and Windows users change their AD password.
Any technique, application, or source code will be great.
our Macs are not connected to AD and we also have Windows users.
I'm creating a list of departments as linkbuttons, when clicked these linkbuttons bring up a list of people in that department in a gridview and thanks to some other peoples help this is working great. The next step for me is to get the phone number to display in the column next to their name, it sounds like an easy thing to do as I've pulled phone numbers accross from AD before but just can't get it to work now!The end result
I have an asp.net website that requires users to login using their Active Directory credentials. All users of the website have AD accounts. Some of the users are at remote locations and share a common computer login (I know this is not recommended but it is what it is, I have no say in that). Every so often a user will log into my website and click the Remember Passwod box which causes the next person that comes along to not be prompted to log in. All users are on IE 7. I have tried having them go into tools and deleting the cookies, saved passwords, etc but when they go to my website they are still not being prompted to log in. I have recently migrated to IIS 7 and I understand there is a way to have the user enter the site through a custom form but I have not gotten that far yet. How can I make sure the users password is removed from IE?
I have an application that does LDAP authentication. The authentication is done on the code behind page of my Login.aspx page. Once the user passes LDAP authentication, a cookie is set and I redirect:
I would like to setup membership in my application and keep track of some user information. But due to company security requirements, I cannot store user passwords on my application. That must stay on the LDAP server only.Is there a way to store users but disable password storage on the aspnet_membership table?
I am using System.directory services namespace in framework 2 to query active directory. I have used fixed user account impersonisation in the web.config file, find the code:
I have disabled anonymous access in IIS. Also i have given Read & write access to the account tang09 for the website virtual directory and Microsoft.NET folder located in windows folder. But still i get prompted for the domain username and password to access the website.
