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

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

By @Pete220652393l9r

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"
