Is there a "standard" way to call out to Active Directory from Uniface?

Hi Joanne,

You could try to use LDAP connector. It work with LDAP and Active Directory.

Cordialy,

Gilles.

I just did it and it works great. The biggest downside is it doesn't support LDAPS. Uniface says they "may" do it someday. If you need LDAPS you'd have to use stunnel along with Uniface LDAP.

Here's the link provided by Uniface.

I have read up on LDAP in Uniface, but I think I need an example of how I can verify that a user logging into my app is authorized with "anonymous" logon (i.e. not having to login again).  I will search on LDAP now that I have some direction!

Thank you! 

Here's how I have it setup for authentication. There's a few different ways to do it, but this is what worked for me.

;required setup
[PATHS]
$LDP=LDP:ldp.domain.com+389:DC=ldp,DC=domain,DC=com|?|?

[DRIVER SETTINGS]
LDP U2.0
USYS$LDP_PARAMS addbase:off

;validate ldap
open "|domain\\username|mypassword","LDP"
if ($status < 0)
return $status
endif

You can also create an LDAP entity and query the LDAP database. I played with this, but did not pursue it. I was able to get the basic AD info.

clear/e "LDAP"
samaccountname.LDAP/init = $v_ldapuser$
retrieve/e "LDAP"
