Can Cloverleaf query Active Directory for additional data?

[Joseph Bernard]

Hi,

Does anyone know if Cloverleaf can query Active directory to pull in additional information?  If so, how would I do that.  We’re trying to create a Cloverleaf table based on Active Directory data that we can’t get through the interface.

Thank,

Joseph

You can use the ldapsearch command on Red Hat. You may need to install the openldap-clients package. You would have to call the command through a script (TPS or XLTP).

We have a system that exports personnel events to a CSV file. This file is then processed through a Windows Task and PowerShell. Each the personnel data in CSV is then augmented with information from Active Directory before it is written to a second CSV. This second CSV is then sent to various systems by Cloverleaf in the format they are expecting. This would be an easy work-around if you can’t get the TCL/AD connection to work.

We have developed some web pages that use LDAP for checking to see if someone belongs to a group and we use TCL.
<pre>package require ldap
# Connect, bind, add a new object, modify it in various ways
set handle [ldap::connect <ldap server> <ldap port number>]
set x [ldap::search $handle “<breakdown>” “(userPrincipalName=$username)” {memberOf} ]
ldap::unbind $handle
ldap::disconnect $handle</pre>
The above code is very abbreviated but might give you some ideas.
