Hi
I am connecting to LDAP using ADsDSOObject to read information about users. Found a great example by Rob Wunderlich on how to do this.
One problem though, I need to include my own user "Admin" in my connect string (no password needed) to be able to access ALL data.
This is where I have a problem. I've tried to use "User Id=ad\Admin" I get an error saying
ErrorSource: Active Directory, ErrorMsg: An operations error occurred.
CONNECT TO [Provider=ADsDSOObject;User Id=ad\Admin;Data Source=LDAP://ad.mycompany.com:636/DC=ad.mycompany,OU=Users,OU=MyCompany,DC=ad,DC=MyCompany,DC=com;
Mode=Read];
Does anyone know how I can correctly include a username/userid in the connect string ?
Thanks,
Johan
Have you tried this: https://www.connectionstrings.com/active-directory-ole-db-provider/ ?
Thanks for your reply Petter.
Unfortunately including User Id=Admin or User Id=ad\admin generates an error when connecting to the active directory. ErrorSource: Active Directory, ErrorMsg: An operations error occurred.
Johan
did you try adding
(UserID is YourDomain\YourAccount, Password is YourPassword)
after the end of the connection string?
Yes, I've tried adding it to the end of the connection string but that doesn't help.
As soon as I add "User Id=ad\admin" and reload my app I get an error when it tryies to creat a connection.
According to the guys that are responsible for active directory I don't need a password.
