Get userID from Active Directory.

[Lin Ma]

I first post this to win2000.active_directory group and I find out it may be
a wrong group.

I hope this group can help me.


Hello,

In ASP page, does any one knows how to get user network login ID from user
email address?

In my company, we use win 2000 server with active directory.

In my ASP page, when input an email address, I need search to find the user
network login ID.

How to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Is using Windows authentication on your site an option instead? If you
enable that, you will get DOMAIN\username in
REquest.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER").

Ray,

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, the logon user is querying other user's network ID by their
email address. So the Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") will not working
at this case.

Any other idea please?

Thanks,

Lin Ma

Ah, I see.

If it were on my network, the person's username would simpy be:

sEmailAddress = "(e-mail address removed)"
aUsername = Split(sEmailAddress & "@", "@")
sUsername = aUsername(0)

Maybe you could create a MAPI session and use the resolve method. ?

Ray,

Thanks for this try. But the user ID is not formatted the same way because
we merged with other company.

we keep the same email format which is (e-mail address removed)

Like my user id is MAL (lastname and firstname initial), but my email is
(e-mail address removed)

Others use firstname.lastname as network logon ID.

And some other format.

Any other idea? thanks a lot for the help.

Perhaps asking in m.p.active.directory.interfaces would yield better
responses. I wouldn't mention that you want to do this in ASP. Just ask
how to do it in VBS or JS or any language for that matter.

Hi Lin,

I think you may perform some LDAP query in your ASP page to check the user
account. You may refer to following articles on this:
