LDAP table - Creating a table listing
all disabled users in a domain
Start the UMRA
Console application and connect to the UMRA
Service: Select UMRA Service,
Connect&ldots; and connect
to the computer on which the UMRA Service
is installed.
Start the UMRA Console and create a new Forms
project.
Right-click in the Forms window and choose the
Add form field command.
Select the Table
option.
Select the Generic
table option and click the Configure
button.
Click the Configure
button once more.
Select the option LDAP
query under Table type.
A dialog box appears to configure your LDAP table.
Click the LDAP binding tab.
In this window, the binding method for the LDAP query is specified. You
can either choose a default binding to the Global Catalog or Active Directory
root, or define your own binding string. For this example, we want to
perform an LDAP search on all user objects in a domain, so we can select
the option Global Catalog. This
is is a searchable master index with data about all objects in the domain.
Click the LDAP
Filter tab to define a search filter.
You can either enter an LDAP search query
directly in the LDAP search filter window
or select a predefined search filter from the Example
LDAP search filters list box. For this example, please enter the
following LDAP query:
The next step is to specify which attributes
should be returned.
Click the Attributes
tab.
The list of attributes for an Active Directory
is endless. Which one you need to choose, also depends on the script action
you wish to perform on the user selection. For this simple example, select
the predefined attribute setting "Users - general information".
This will return the cn attribute
and the description attribute.
Click the Set button when you
are done. The LDAP query is now ready to be tested.
Click the Run
test tab.
Click the Test
button. The result of your LDAP query will appear in the Table
data section. Click OK
three times to return to the Forms window.
Right-click in the form window and choose the Toggle auto preview command to preview
your table. The result should be similar to the figure shown below (the
user names in your network will of course be different).
You have now created an LDAP table which returns all the disabled users
in a domain. Script actions can now be added to your project specifying
what action needs to be performed on the selected data.
