How to make a search from the ActiveDirectory Resource
Hello, I'm trying to implement a workflow (java class invoked) that searches and retrieve the DistinguishedName of a user, using the ActiveDirectory Resource created in Identity Manager System.
What I don't know is how to send commands to the Active Directory Adapter to do a search of a user and retrieve data. Where can I find this documentation?
Have any of you have done this before?
Thanks in advance

This task is done quite often along with other AD queries that you will need as your implementation of Idm becomes more robust. However, this task is not trivial. To see documentation concerning this issue, see the document Idm workflows, forms and views. Do a search for "searchFilter" and you will see some brief examples and configuration notes. There are some other examples in other documents that may get you in the park, but AD is not one of them. Once you have constructed a search filter you will need to pass in at least some known attribute to get back the DN. So you could pass in the sAMAccountName or employee number, or something that is unique to ensure you get back the correct DN.
If this does not answer your question and you have other similar tasks related to AD, I would suggest getting someone from Sun Professional Services to help you out with this.

Dude,
Here is some code you can use either in a workflow or whereever you want. Should do the trick. Modify attributes etc as you see fit.
