Hi all,
I'm having one of those nerve wrecking errors, when trying to perform a
simple search in an Active Directory. The objective of the code is to, given
a user name, search the AD for couple of specified properties, including the
groups the user belongs to.
The odd thing is that, if I set filter simply as "(objectCategory=user)", it
works. If I add any other search criteria, it throws an exception with the
message "the directory service is unavailable.".
Can any of you help? Here's the code that I'm using to perform the search:
public static void GetADUserGroups(string LoggedInUser){
DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher("LDAP://" +
Common.getValue("SPDomain"));
search.Filter = @"(objectCategory=user)(samaccountname=" + LoggedInUser +
")";
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("memberof");
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("department");
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn");
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn");
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name");
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("samaccountname");
System.Text.StringBuilder groupNames = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
// Search time out
TimeSpan waitTime;
try{
waitTime = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 60); //hh--mm-ss
search.ClientTimeout = waitTime; //wait this much time to display results
}
catch (Exception Ex){
throw new SystemException("Error = " + Ex.Message + Ex.InnerException, Ex);
}
try{
SearchResult result = search.FindOne();
if(result != null){
int propertyCount = result.Properties["memberOf"].Count;
String dn;
int equalsIndex, commaIndex;
for(int propertyCounter = 0; propertyCounter < propertyCount;
propertyCounter++){
dn = (String)result.Properties["memberOf"][propertyCounter];
equalsIndex = dn.IndexOf("=", 1);
commaIndex = dn.IndexOf(",", 1);
if(-1 == equalsIndex){
return;
}
groupNames.Append(dn.Substring((equalsIndex + 1), (commaIndex
- equalsIndex) - 1));
groupNames.Append("|");
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex){
throw new Exception("Error obtaining group names. " + ex.Message);
}
}
Thanks in advance for all the help you guys can provide!
