FileNet P8 Platform, Version 5.2.1            

Get and search operations (Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services)

Explains how Content Platform Engine performs LDAP searches by various attributes.

Get User or Group by Short Name

Iterate through all realms. For each realm:

  1. Connect to corresponding host.
  2. Search for the user or group by short name.
  3. If found, return.

If more than one user or group is found, Content Platform Engine will log an error and return the first user found. Content Platform Engine requires that short names be unique across domains.

Get User or Group by DN
  1. Resolve the realm name from the DN.
  2. Connect to corresponding host.
  3. Search for the user/group by DN.
Get User or Group by UPN
AD LDS does not support the UserPrincipalName attribute (that attribute is only supported by Active Directory). However, it does support the email attribute, in which case the email address is treated as a short name.
Get User or Group by SID

Iterate through all realms. For each realm:

  1. Connect to corresponding host.
  2. Search for the user or group by SID.
  3. If found, return.
Search Users or Groups in a Given Realm
  1. Connect to the host corresponding to the specified realm.
  2. Search for the users or groups by the search criteria.
