Active Directory Services using Java API

Hello All,

I want to know whether its possible to connect to Active Directory Services through Java and able to retreive the users and groups from Active Directory Services. If its possible can i get the code.

thanks
Winston

did you get any solution ?

I am interested too.

Thanks.

Antheo.

AD exposes an LDAP interface, so it could be possible to connect to like any other LDAP server.
On Sourceforge there is a specific taglib, other material on OpenLDAP.

i searched on sourceforge and openldap regarding the ldap interface for active directory.

i found nothing on sourceforge... and the only link from openldap was to novell. i've been trying to get it for sometime, but novell does not allow download accelerators nor continuation applications (it seems) and i've been "timed out" way too many times, that frustration has built up.

i would like pabloj to be more specific in his post, or maybe provide a link as to where his two direction is? or if novell is correct and worth me trying to get it downloaded, as i've gotten the netscape ldap sdk only find it is specifically for developing with netscape (it seems..)

please? thx

I succeedeed connecting to AD by using the jndi tutorial from Sun.
Take a look at it.

thx antheo! found the stuff and looks workable.. trying it out!

i've run into problems again. i've created a user account "john doe", and did not place it into any groups. right now, i keep gettting:
javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C09030B, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 525, v893

there is some sort of authentication problem here. i'm using the following:

env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://"+ addressort+"/dc=domain,dc=name,dc=com");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "cn=john doe,dc=domain,dc=name,dc=com");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);

i've also tried with "ou=user" after "cn=doe" to no avail. i'm connecting to win2k server with service pack 3 installed, and i can get a connection using LDAPbrowser (from Jarek Gawor) using the same values.

Hello,

Can you please send me the code to connect to AD using JNDI.

Also, please let me know which jar file needs to be put in the classpath.

Thanks in advance.

Nemath you should start a new thread makes it alot easier to find your post.

Hi,



import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
class DomainCon
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Hashtable env= new Hashtable(11);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION,"none");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"CN=kiran,OU=LinkedgeOU,DC=LINKEDGEDOMAIN");//User
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "kiran");//Password
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ldap://testing2:389/DC=LINKEDGEDOMAIN");
try
{
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
String[] sAttrIDs = new String[2];

Attributes attr = ctx.getAttributes("");
System.out.println("Domain Name:"+ attr.get("name").get());
}
catch(NamingException e)
{
System.err.println("Problem getting attribute: " + e);
}
}
}
