Connect To A Novell NDS Datasoource Via LDAP
Feb 5, 2007Hi All,
Is there a connector in Connections Manager that can access a Novell NDS tree and help to pull data in an SSIS package?
Thanks,

This is something that should not be so difficult, but it is proving to be very cumbersome.
I need to query an LDAP database on a Linux server FROM a sql server, namely sql server 2005.
I have found bits and pieces, but can€™t seem to put it all together yet €“ it should be easy, but it€™s proving to be very difficult.
It seems like you can either link an LDAP server through sp_addlinkedserver OR through enterprise manager/sql server studio, you can create a LINKED SERVER.
The problem is HOW to do this.
Here are the parameters for the ldap server:
Server name: serverabc
Ldap info (which I don€™t know how to label) is: 'ou=Hosts,dc=mc,dc=vanderbilt,dc=edu'.
I was able to somehow get this to work last week, but now it€™s not working - it didn't return any data, as i don't have any ldap hierarchy specified, but at least it came back with "command completed successfully":
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY( [serverabc],
'SELECT * FROM ''LDAP://serverabcu/ OU=Hosts,DC=mc,DC=vanderbilt,DC=edu''
')
With all the ldap usage out there, this is really frustrating not being able to find out how to do this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Could someone please tell me what I need to do to be able to connect a user, who is on a Novell Network to a SQL Server using tcp/ip.
Do I need to make the user a member of the NT Domain or have a local user account on the NT box, where the SQL Server is installed.
Thanks,

I have very unusual question. I have seen a query that looks something like this:
SELECT A, B, C FROM 'LDAP://abc.def.com'
What exactly does this mean? Could such a query be executed in the SQL Server Management Studio? Where would such a table/database be actually located?
I have not read anything about SQL running on a Novell server. Does any one know if SQL will run on a Novell Server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to setup a server on a network where Novell is the NOS.
question : how can I configure the server (NT4 sp4 / SqlServer 7.0 ),
so that the "Novell User/PW" will authenticate for my database
on the NT/SqlServer server.
What I am trying to avoid is the duplication of user maintenance
on the system.

We use Novell NDS security to access applications on NT servers. I have an application on an NT server that will connect to an other NT
server that is running SQL Server 7.0. Is there any way to have/use the Novell login/password passed to SQL Server 7.0 once logged
on to the NT application server?
Either passing as a login/password or converted to a group for SQL Server use. I would like to limit the number of times a business user
needs to type a login/password. Hopefuly this would work like "trusted connections".
Thanks
I am running SQL Server 6.5 on a Windows NT 4.0 Server. File and printer services etc. are handled by Novell. This server is the only NT box in the shop. All workstations are running Windows 95. My problem is that response from the SQL server is extremely slow. When I make a request to the server from a workstation my Novell server utilization peaks for several seconds.I dont know why the Novell server should have any involvment? What Net libraries and protocols should I be using?

does anyone know if MS SQL SERVER 2000 can be installed on Novell 5, and if there are any challenges that need to be considered.
Thanks to all,

I found this on the SQL Help page on the Data Link Connection Properties Tab (created by opening a 'test.udl' file on the workstation):
"The SQL Server system administrator must have associated your Microsoft Windows network ID with a SQL Server login ID."
While I can log into the SQL Server from a different workstation NOT using Novell, and using my Windows Authenticated UserID and PW, trying the same from a Novell networked workstation using the UserID and Password which is good ONLY at that one workstation, I cannot access the same SQL Server.
How does one "associate a Microsoft Windows network ID" when Novell is being used to access the Windows network?
The IT department says Novell should have not effect a Windows login, but it apparently is.
I am new to SSIS but this does not seem like it should be a hard thing to do. Here is the background:
Windows Server 2003
SQL Server 2005
SSIS
Logged in to server as Admin
I've created a SSIS package that I want to run as a Job. In it there is a Ole DB Connection to a VFP Database on a Novell Server. Client for Netware Services is started when server is but NOT logged into. When I created the package everything runs fine. Note that I had to login when I created the Data Link. I can even run it from the SQL Server Package Store. As soon as I restart the server and try to run it I get an error that the file path is invalid in both SSIS and the Package Store. I check the connection string and it looks good.
The connection is availible in My Network Places
If I open the connection and login it runs fine again.
How do I intiate the network connection and then close it again??

The difference is in ''@MyDIR'' because in the second I want to use a paramter... How can I use a paramter in the second SP?

I need to export data from an LDAP-compliant data source, to a SQL Server database. Is this possible with SQL Server 2005 Integration Services? The Import and Export Wizard
does not appear to support LDAP in the Data Source drop down list.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI thought I was successful in linking SQL to a Third Party LDAP in the past, but I cannot get it to work now. It has been about 2 years ago I played with this. The LDAP does require authentication and I think that is where the problem lies, but if anyone can tell me if there is a way to do this and what the steps are I would greatly appreciate it.

I have a linked server set up and working correctly. I can create a query to get all the users from active directory with something like this:
SELECT [name], [samaccountname] from OpenQuery( ADSI,
'SELECT name, samaccountname FROM ''LDAP://DC=domain,DC=com'' WHERE objectClass = ''user'' and objectCategory=''Person''')
Now I am trying to select all the users in a specifed security group, but I am not having much luck. What is the best way to get this?
Thanks much.

How to insert and delete records from a table in the remote database?"

I'm trying to query an LDAP server from a stored procedure written for the CLR but not getting the expected results.
The code is as follows:
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _
Public Shared Sub LDAP_UserExists(<Out()> ByRef exists As Boolean, ByVal username As SqlString)
Dim adspath As New StringBuilder()
adspath.Append(LDAP://[.......]/ou=Members/cn=)
adspath.Append(username)
If username.ToString().Length > 0 Then
Dim uobject As New DirectoryEntry(adspath.ToString(), "", "", System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes.Anonymous)
If Not (uobject Is Nothing) Then
exists = True
Else
exists = False
End If
End If
End Sub
The same code works fine from an ASP.NET. If I deploy the code and execute it with
exec LDAP_UserExists 'username'
I receive the error
Error converting data type varchar to bit.
And if I right-click and select "Execute Stored Procedure..." I receive @exists = 1 and Return Value = 0, regardless of the value I pass in as the username parameter.
Given that the same code works correctly on the ASP.NET page I suspect that this error has something to do with the <out()> parameter in the stored procedure declaration.
Can anyone suggest the correct method of performing this query?
Hi All,
I currently have the problem that I have to write some data into a SUN Directory Server 5.2 LDAP directory.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I already found some articles in this forum that provide solutions how to access
the active directory - but how can I access a none Microsoft LDAP Server?
Is there any way to use the OLE DB Destination or do I have to implement my own LDAP adapter in VB.net?
Thanks a lot for help.
I am trying to get members of an Active Directory group by querying the AD server from Transact-SQL (SQL Server 2005). Although there does not seem to be any written list of LDAP attributes that can be queried in AD (or I am not finding it), I have gotten this far:
SELECT * FROM
OPENQUERY( MYSERVER,
'SELECT cn, msExchHomeServerName, userPrincipalName FROM ''LDAP://CN=Users,DC=MYSERVER,DC=COM'' WHERE userPrincipalName=''*'' ')
This gives me a user list. But I can't find the syntax or attribute name(s) to query in order to get the membership of a specific group - for example, the group "SQL_Developers".
Anybody out there familiar enough with LDAP, AD and OPENQUERY() to give me a hand?
Thanks....
Tom
I know you can access LDAP via ADO.NET and the ADsDSOObject Provider.
Is there away to do it within a SQL Server Stored Procedure?
Thanks,

Hello I am trying to run a query via tsql against ad. Below is the error I am getting. I have read the http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms190803.aspx and changed the domain but still having issues. Any help would be appreciated.

I currently have an ldap query in a stored procedure that is working fine but is checking the 'whenCreated' attribute against a hardcoded data.

Hello everyone,
We have a custom application that connects remotely to a SQL Server 2000 (SP2) database. We would like our application to validate a user's login against Active Directory.
So far I have been able to get a lookup working, but I can not find documentation on how to validate the password from within SQL Server. I found a lot of notes on using ASP.NET objects, or VB, C#, etc, but for this solution it must be done entirely in SQL. It would also be nice if this were SQL Server 2005; we could just embed the C# code and call it as a SQL stored proc, but unfortunately we are left with the constraint that we cannot upgrade this DB at this time.
Linked server 'ADSI' is set up with the sp_addlinkedserver command:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ADSI', @srvproduct=N'Active
Directory Services 2.5', @provider=N'ADsDSOObject', @datasrc=N'adsdatasource'
Two table functions in our test DB (trying to test both ways I've found in docs):
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[GetAuthenticatedUserViaLDAP]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@userId nvarchar(50),
@password nvarchar(50)
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
-- Add the SELECT statement with parameter references here
SELECT [SAMAccountName], CN [Name], SN [Last Name], ST State
FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'<LDAP://DC=company,DC=com>;((objectClass=user));SAMAccountName,cn,sn,st')
WHERE [SAMAccountName] = @userId
)
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[GetAuthenticatedUser]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@userId nvarchar(50),
@password nvarchar(50)
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
-- Add the SELECT statement with parameter references here
SELECT [SAMAccountName], [Name], SN [Last Name], ST State
FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'SELECT SAMAccountName, Name, SN, ST
FROM ''LDAP://bdsserver1/ CN=users,DC=company,DC=com''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person''
AND objectClass = ''user'' ')
WHERE [SAMAccountName] = @userId
)
So calling either of these table functions from our custom application gives the same result:
select * from dbo.GetAuthenticatedUser('astonaker','abc')
OR
select * from dbo.GetAuthenticatedUserViaLDAP('astonaker','abc')
ResultSet:
'astonaker', 'Anthony', 'Stonaker' 'NULL'
So I can at least tell if a given user exists or not, but I have no visibility into whether the password they entered into our application is valid in LDAP.
I don't want to pass unencrypted passwords through the network, but then I don't know how to encrypt/compare these passwords without using the .NET Connection or DirectoryEntry, etc objects.
Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I have configured a Linked Server with Active Directory (LDAP), working properly.
Now, through this Linked Server, I need information about password expiration date in my AD Domain accounts.
Is it possible to use a parameter in a ldap query using the ADsDSOObject provider? I keep getting an error "The ICommandWithParameters interface is not supported by the "ADSDSOObject" provider". Command parameters are unsupported with the current provider.
I don't have a linked server on my DB server to Active Directory so I'm just querying in the SSRS report design. Here is my query for my dataset. If I hard code an example it works. Just doesn't work when I pass a parameter. I've tried making it an expression (= sign), Tried several syntax's, Tried everything I can think of. Is this possible? or do I just need to push for a linked server?
="SELECT sAMAccountName, displayName, distinguishedName " +
"FROM 'LDAP://DC=xxxx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx' " +
"WHERE objectCategory = 'Person' " +
"AND objectClass = 'user' " +
"AND memberOf = '" + @GlobalGroup + "'"
Hi Everyone,
Am a third year student doing work placement.
Could anyone please give me clues on how to go about extracting data from a LDAP and then into an SQL database?
1 A defined subset of data is to be extracted from GDS on a nightly basis,
2 Then imported into a SQL database for quick & easy retrieval.
3 A web interface is required to present data retrieved from the SQL database.
I will appreciate every assistance.

Is there a way to query the LDAP from inside the CMS? I know I can add a linked server in a singular instance but I'd like to do it inside a server group. I haven't found anything so far about querying the LDAP inside a server group so it might not be possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,I have successfully set and used a linked server to query ADSI.Since this question also concerns MSSQLServer, I've cross posted it --I hope this is not a breach of etiquette.I have successly created a view based on the linked server.Unfortunately, it only shows 1000 records, and there does not seem tobe any way to set the Page Size.I found the following:http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;243281Which seems to imply that the default can be set by changing registrykey: "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWind owsDirectoryUI"I have set this key, and also set it for the user account under whichMSSQLServer runs. The value persists after a reboot. The Domain Grouppolicy sets the default to 15000.This behaviour is not restricted to the linked server. If I use thescript found here:http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/1121 I can access morethan 1000 records, but only if I set the "Page Size" property. If Icomment it out to let the default hold, it is 1000.It must be settable SOMEWHERE or the whole linked server thing is ofvery limited use.At present, the best solution I've been able to come up with is to usethe above script modified to run as a DTS package. Yuck.TIA,BM
View 2 Replies View RelatedI designed the AlwaysOn wrong, but every time we fail over from primary server to another server, my applications cannot connect because the sql logins cannot connect to their default databases.
