LDAP Queries for Repository Sync

Active Directory DS and AD LDS Queries

1. Search users

(&(usnChanged>=217368)(&(objectClass=user)(|(cn=*)(sAMAccountName=*)(userPrincipalName=*))))

Requested attributes:

['objectSID', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'logonHours', 'primaryGroupId', 'otherMobile', 'mobile', 'userAccountControl', 'cn', 'usnChanged', 'userPrincipalName', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'objectGUID', 'mail', 'otherMailbox', 'GUID']

2. Search groups

(&(usnChanged>=217368)(&(objectClass=group)(|(cn=*)(sAMAccountName=*))))

Requested attributes:

['objectSID', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'logonHours', 'primaryGroupId', 'userAccountControl', 'cn', 'usnChanged', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'objectGUID', 'GUID']

eDirectory Queries

The queries are the same as for Active Directory DS and Active Directory LDS, except for 'usnChanged' (this filter is not used).

1. Search users

(&(objectClass=user)(|(cn=*)(sAMAccountName=*)(userPrincipalName=*)))

Requested attributes:

['objectSID', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'logonHours', 'primaryGroupId', 'otherMobile', 'mobile', 'userAccountControl', 'cn', 'userPrincipalName', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'objectGUID', 'mail', 'otherMailbox', 'GUID']

2. Search groups

(&(objectClass=group)(|(cn=*)(sAMAccountName=*)))

Requested attributes:

['objectSID', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'logonHours', 'primaryGroupId', 'userAccountControl', 'cn', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'objectGUID', 'GUID']

LDAP Queries During Logon

For Active Directory LDS queries, the attributes are same as Active Directory DS except for the objectSid (the filter is not used in queries on membership in groups).

In the examples below, the username is pjones, base_dn is DC=company,DC=com

Active Directory DS and Active Directory LDS queries

1. Basic user information

(&(objectClass=user)(|(cn=pjones)(sAMAccountName=pjones)(userPrincipalName=pjones)))

Requested attributes:

(&(objectClass=user)(objectGUID=\0f\d1\14\49\bc\cc\04\44\b7\bf\19\06\15\c6\82\55))

Requested attributes:

['otherMobile', 'GUID', 'userAccountControl', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'mobile', 'primaryGroupId', 'cn', 'objectGUID', 'userPrincipalName', 'objectSID', 'mail', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'logonHours', 'otherMailbox']

2. Group membership information for user

Active Directory specific query using objectSid filter:

(|(member=CN=pjones,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=com)(objectSid=S-1-5-21-3303523795-413055529-2892985274-513))

Requested attributes:

['GUID', 'userAccountControl', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'primaryGroupId', 'objectGUID', 'cn', 'objectSID', 'objectClass', 'sAMAccountName', 'logonHours']

3. Iteratively query about each group received from above query

(member=CN=Performance Monitor Users,CN=Builtin,DC=company,DC=com)

Requested attributes:

['GUID', 'userAccountControl', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'primaryGroupId', 'objectGUID', 'cn', 'objectSID', 'objectClass', 'sAMAccountName', 'logonHours']

eDirectory Queries

Basic user information

(&(objectClass=user)(|(cn=pjones)(sAMAccountName=pjones)(userPrincipalName=pjones)))

Requested attributes:

['otherMobile', 'GUID', 'userAccountControl', 'msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed', 'mobile', 'primaryGroupId', 'cn', 'objectGUID', 'userPrincipalName', 'objectSID', 'mail', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'logonHours', 'otherMailbox']
(&(objectClass=user)(GUID=\57\b6\c2\c1\b9\7f\4b\40\b9\70\5f\9a\1d\76\6c\d2))
