Sync members of AD group to Livelink 9.7.1 with DS 3.1.0

Ian_Anderson

Hey All,I'm looking for a way to sync members of a group to Livelink as a way to allow the business a better handle of who does/doesn't have Livelink access.My current query is:&(objectClass=user)(|(memberOf=))It's fairly simple. All I want are the members of a certain AD group. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks.-Ian

I think you have it almost right but I do not see the OU or DC where the group is defined .Does your query work? If it does not I will say that the LDAP interface for DirSvcs is not the friendlest to perfect your query.so I typically use Softerra LDAP browser free or MMC snapin active directory users & computers.This is a valid user query that I show as an example.Aim is to create a group called IT which exists in AD and have that group poulated with those users as wellThe User Search Filter syntax: (&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=user)(|(memberOf=CN=IT,OU=DNUsers,DC=appu,DC=com)))This is a valid group queryThe Group Search Filter syntax:(&(objectcategory=group)(cn=IT))Where IT is the name of the pre-existing group in AD.Note how painfully I have put the tree there that is how it works it needs to know the correct OU to do it.No wild carding like sql stuff.When the query runs here is how livelink does this.It will first create the Group called IT.It will pull all the users from "IT" and put them in "Default Group".Next it will add all those "livelink users" into the livelink group "IT".There is a hack that allows you to change the "Default Group" into some other big group.Support can send you that if you need.Note all the settings I use are for a LDAP synchronization read only.If you prefer to see a screen shot I can send you one as well.
