Active Directory/Search for a user

Active Directory/Search for a user
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

VBScript

Make sure you Connect to Active Directory

The search string and execution of the string

strUsername = "TestUser"
strQuery = "<LDAP://dc=skycityauckland,dc=sceg,dc=com>;"_
 & "(&(objectclass=*)(samaccountname=" & strUsername & "));distinguishedname;subtree"
objCmd.ActiveConnection = objConn
objCmd.Properties("Page Size")=100
objCmd.CommandText = strQuery
Set objRS = objCmd.Execute

Doing something with a single result (this will output the returned users full DN)

If objRS.RecordCount = 1 Then
  WScript.Echo objRS.Fields("DistinguishedName")
End If

Doing something with multiple results (this will output each returned users full DN)

If objRS.RecordCount > 0 Then
  For Each objUser in ObjRS
    WScript.Echo objRS.Fields("DistinguishedName")
  Next
End If

Tcl

One can do it with the low level Connect to Active Directory based handle with this code:

This is just the basic setup. <lang tcl>set Username "TestUser" set Filter "((&objectClass=*)(sAMAccountName=$Username))" set Base "dc=skycityauckland,dc=sceg,dc=com" set Attrs distinguishedName</lang>

Now do the actual search. <lang tcl>set result [ldap::search $conn $Base $Filter $Attrs -scope subtree]</lang>

If we have only a single result its easy: <lang tcl>if {[llength $result] == 1} {

   puts [dict get [lindex $result 0 1] distinguishedName]

}</lang>

Looping over the result set to output some values. <lang tcl>foreach pair $result {

   lassign $pair cn attributes
   puts [dict get $attributes distinguishedName]

} </lang>

If you're bored you can also use this instead: <lang tcl>package require ldapx set conn [ldapx::connect $BindDN $Password] $conn traverse $Base $Filter $Attrs e {

   puts [$e get distinguishedName]

}</lang>
