Hi all.
I have a very general question because I am not exactly sure what I
am asking!
I have a client who has a MS desktop tool that he uses to query his
MS Active Directory for contact info, devices, printers, etc. We are
trying to develop a web-based tool (php) to do the same thing, but we
can only seem to access certain info in certain levels of the
directory tree. For example, when we use his tool to do a search with
this filter:
(&(&(&(&(mailnickname=*)(|(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)
(!(homeMDB=*))(!msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)
(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&
(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact))(objectCategory=group)
(objectCategory=publicFolder)
(objectCategory=msExchDynamicDistributionList))))
(objectCategory=contact)(displayName=colleen*)))
we get results. But if I try using this same filter in a web-based
search query, we get errors like "bad filter" and no results.
So, his question to me was "Is it possible to do a direct ldap query
to a public folder through a browser?" He thinks it may not be due to
some MS security issue.
Does this question make any sense?
Does anyone know the answer, or could help me understand the issue
enough to solve our problem?
Thanks for any guidance,
steve
