Question

Target specific OU with CFldap

Hey folks,

question about the start parameter in the cfldap command- 

I am trying to work with our developers to automate the onboarding process; we want our intranet site based in CF to read from specific ou to create users in the intranet app

They seem to be having a hard time.

Questions:

1) Is this possible?

2)can someone possibly provide an example if the OU I want is three levels down the tree:

mycompany.com/Offices/Domain Users/New Hires

(note the spaces in the names)

the google say it is possible, but more times than not I see examples of people only using the dc portion of the name (dc-mycompany, dc=.com)

    Could you share the cfldap code you currently have? That will speed up the discussion.

    please see the attached image - they only it to the root of the ad - start="dc=mycompany,DC=COM"

    the code isn't going to help - they told me they tried - but I myself haven't seen the attempt  to set a specific our

    disregard the marrow arrow (that was for something else) 

     

    If I give this as an example is this the correct syntax or can CFLDAP only scan the whole AD.

    start="ou=New Hires,ou=Domain Users,ou=offices,dc=mycompany dc=com"

     

    The point is to lock this process down to the  newuser OU  as part of a bigger onboard workflow that involves sweeping out that ou when other actions are performed

    There is a problem here with the domain components (DC) section. In LDAP, each domain component must be separated by a comma. The correct format is therefore to use a comma to separate dc=mycompany and dc=com, like this:

    start="ou=New Hires,ou=Domain Users,ou=offices,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
