I need to write a software that will execute different LDAP requests and handle responses. The main idea is that the requests must be configured by the user and for different LDAP (eDirectory, OpenLDAP).

The question is how can I implement such requests configuration and how to handle them later.

I'v read about LDIF and DSML. There are LDIFReader and DSMLReader in Novell JLDAP, which allows to convert DSML and LDIF files to LDAPMessages. LDIF and DSML files attributes contains real values, but I need user to fill them in the runtime.

So I need template for DSML or LDIF. Is there something like that?

I can leave values in the DSML empty and fill them in LDAPMessage, but I think its not good idea. ]]> DEV: LDAP dima376 http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392744-java-ldap-dsml.html http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392328-how-do-i-modify-boolean-type-attribute.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:36:39 GMT I can modify String type attributes (both single and multi-valued) fine. However I can't seem to figure out how to modify a boolean type LDAP attribute.

This mainly stems from the fact that LDAPAttribute constructor can only be created either from a String or a byte array.

Here's a snippet of my code:

ldapConnection.modify("CN=John Doe,OU=Eng,OU=Some Corp,DC=dept,DC=com", new LDAPModification(LDAPModification.ADD,new LDAPAttribute(attrName, "false")));

I am doing this wrong but how do I get a byte array to be treated like a boolean? I am thoroughly confused.

Please help.

Thanks. ]]> DEV: LDAP vankaya http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392328-how-do-i-modify-boolean-type-attribute.html http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392247-paged-searching.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:09:59 GMT Hi,

I'm developing an application that needs to perform an LDAP search that may return thousands of objects. In active directory the server places a limit on the number of objects returned. To retrieve more than this limit paged searching is required.

I have enabled paged searching and it all works ok in AD but when I run it against Novell eDirectory I get the error "The server does not support the control" (the control is referring to the paged searching control attached to the request). This leads me to believe that eDirectory doesn't support or allow paged searching?

Most importantly, is there a limit to the maximum number of returned object from a search (as there is in AD) and how do I retrieve more than this limit if paging isn't supported.

Is it safe to assume that if paging isn't supported then there is no limit to the number of objects that can be returned?

Many Thanks.
Martyn. ]]> DEV: LDAP mharris1984 http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392247-paged-searching.html http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392219-ldap-test.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:43:22 GMT Hi All, I am new to LDAP.

I am new to LDAP. I am working on a project that will be able to Authenticate mobile users upon making a request. During the course of my research, I found out that I can use novel JLDAP classes to access any LDAP server. I have written a class with regard to this.

However, I am trying to run my classes but I seem to be having the problem of how to make it to connect to the LDAP server. I did not see error in my code but what I want to do is to make sure that when I run my code a process will triger that will tell me that a connection has been made to the LDAP server.

Can someone please show me how to do this? Your help will be highly and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ]]> DEV: LDAP olasamuel http://forums.novell.com/novell-developer-forums/dev-ldap/392219-ldap-test.html
