Search Users using FormsAPI

Abishk

Hi everyone,

I have a requirement of implementing the functionality similar to the one shown in the attachment
Searching all the users provided by Administration--> Add new users-->Search..
And in need to have this in my custom instantiation screen using FormsAPI.

If anyone has implemented anything similar or knows how to do it, please help me out. I'll highly appreciate it.Thanks in advance.

You did not mention where you want to use FormAPI. FormAPI basically used in DCT/Content capturing forms.
As per the attached pic it seems to be customization of TS. You should go through the customization guide and CSSDK docs. For fetching users you can use Datasource variable also, you can find datasource information in WFM guide.

Hi thanks for replying.. i did mention that i need to use it in custom instantiation screen for workflow.. and the screen shot that i have used is the default teamsite functionality used when u try to add a new user to teamsite through the administration tab.

For fetching users you can use Datasource variable also, you can find datasource information in WFM guide.

And this approach will get me all the "Teamsite" users, what i want is all the users in the domain.. So i was basically asking if there is some hack or something to do it. Thanks..

You can fetch users on the basis of group in TeamSite. You can look into DatasourceConfig.xml file where you can add a new Datasource variable and pass group/groups to fetch the user list.

For specific kind of requirement you need to write some custom java code and register it to same file and use.

You can also fetch those information through FormApi in workflow custom instantiation form also.

From a Perl perspective - you could run:

iwhome/bin/iwuseradm list-users -o

and then parse the results.

There's probably a CSSDK equivalent but I'm not sure what it is off the top of my head.

He wants access to all users in his domain, not just the OS and not just TeamSite users.

You could use perl to perform a query against your active directory and get all the users (Note: most active directory results will be limited to 2000 by default). To help the user find names you could some autocomple code to allow the users to key usernames. Look into using jQuery and autocomplete. Google should provide you with something you can use.

What are you going to do with this field?

I suggest you try the command first before assuming that (for Windows) OS and domain are different. It may be, but on the one server I tried it on, I get a dump of every single user entry in the domain - including things like meeting rooms ;-)

Nope, just gives local users. Server is member of the domain.

Ghot, what server version did you perform this on? 2000, 2003, 2008

Cool, I really wanted to set up a meeting room as an approver. :-)

I do not have a user_databases.xml file. I'm probably not seeing active directory users because of that.

Jamik

I don't have a user_databases.xml file either and the command works for me exactly the way it works for Adam.

Must be something just a little bit different in my environment or configuration. Could be a Windows 2000 (that's what I'm running) versus Windows 2003 thing. Who knows? I'm okay with it for now. Back to the original thread question.....
