LDAP Lookup

littlelise

Has anyone written a script to allow a person entering data into a DCT to click a button and perform a search on an LDAP directory? Would this directory and the TeamSite Server have to be in the same domain?

Any pointers on where to start anyone?

Sorry, for more clarity...

I have a template which allows registration of users to a service. I'd like for them to be able to perform a user lookup from LDAP and have that value written back to the form field instead of entering freehand data.

Here is a KB from the Interwoven support site:
49612

It tells how to use perl to get LDAP info. You should be able to tweak this to give you what you want.

It uses basically two PMs:

use TeamSite::TSCommon;
use Net::LDAP;

Grabbing the LDAP stuff out of the config file:


my $ldap_host = TeamSite::TSCommon::get_iw_config('authentication','ldap_server');
my $ldap_port = TeamSite::TSCommon::get_iw_config('authentication','ldap_port');
my $searchbaseDN = TeamSite::TSCommon::get_iw_config('authentication','ldap_dnbase');
my $ldap_dnbase = TeamSite::TSCommon::get_iw_config('authentication','ldap_dnbase');
my $ldap_pwd = TeamSite::TSCommon::get_iw_config('authentication','ldap_pwd');
my $domain_name = TeamSite::TSCommon::get_iw_config('iwcgi','domain_list');

and then connecting to LDAP:


$ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldap_host);
$mesg = $ldap->bind ( dn => 'cn=ebfdev,cn=users,DC=ebflab,DC=test,DC=arl,DC=ABC,DC=net', password => $ldap_pwd);

it searches for the users:


$mesg = $ldap->search (
 base => "$searchbaseDN",
 scope => "sub",
 filter => "(&(objectclass=group)(cn=$groupName))",
 attrs => $attrs
);

in this case, using the LDAP group that was given Group For Sharing permissions on a workarea.

I think TScommon is a custom module? at least it doesn't seem to come with 5.5.2 on Solaris. It looks like it retrieves a value from a section of iw.cfg.

You could probably use the CLT iwconfig in place of TScommon
