EDIT: I've posted the solution below.
I know you don't like these type of questions, but i've been struggling with this issue for half a day now.
I've written a C# code that fetches user attributes from our Active Directory using LDAP, the code works well.
The code is as follows:
DirectoryEntry dirEnt = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://dc=dom,dc=int");
DirectorySearcher adSearch = new DirectorySearcher(dirEnt);
adSearch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
adSearch.PageSize = 10000;
adSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user))";
SearchResultCollection sColl = adSearch.FindAll();
foreach (SearchResult sResult in sColl)
{
string sConn = sResult.Properties["distinguishedName"][0].ToString();
DirectoryEntry dirEnt2 = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + sConn);
...
// dirEnt2 contains ALL attributes for the user
}
I'm trying to port this code to Java, but it seems like that the technique I used in C# does not work too well in Java.
Using the following code
DirContext context;
ArrayList<String> nList = new ArrayList<String>();
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
String username = ...;
String password = ...;
try {
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, ldapUri);
try {
context = new InitialDirContext(env);
} catch (NamingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
SearchControls ctrl = new SearchControls();
ctrl.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
NamingEnumeration enumeration = context.search("", "(objectClass=user)",
ctrl);
while (enumeration.hasMore()) {
SearchResult result = (SearchResult) enumeration.next();
Attributes attribs = result.getAttributes();
NamingEnumeration values = ((BasicAttribute)
attribs.get("distinguishedName")).getAll();
while (values.hasMore()) {
nList.add(values.next().toString());
}
}
} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
for (String sVar : nList ){
Hashtable env2 = new Hashtable();
env2.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
env2.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
env2.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env2.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://DOM/" + sVar);
Attributes attrs = null;
try {
context = new InitialDirContext(env2);
attrs = context.getAttributes(sVar);
} catch (NamingException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
continue;
}
System.out.println(attrs.toString());
}
Yields that attrs only contains BASIC attributes regarding the user (such as samaccountname, displayname, etc) and no 'email', 'telephone' or any other similar attributes.
Any help on the issue is blessed!
