I 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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
Hi,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 RelatedThis 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
Hi,
can anyone tell me how exactly sql server7 interacts with Site Server, LDAP.
I am a sql dba, trying to work with above ones. Anyone pls suggest me any book or material or ur ideas.
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?
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!
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 RelatedI am trying to use NConstruct to generate my Nhibernate files. i can't connect to the sql server. In the past I have ran into similar problems with MyGeneration and other 3rd party tools. In those cases If I ran the tool as an administrator, it worked out ok. For NConstruct there is no option to run as administrator. I ran the SQL Server Surface Configuration tool to allow local and remote connections for named pipes and tcp already. I read all the blogs written for asp.net, and people often complain about the learning curve for Nhibernate or lack of Tutorials for Nhibernate. What I found in my case is that the steepest learning curve is to get the Microsoft Products Configured and Working Correctly! If anyone can be of any assistance, I would deeply appreciate it

Dear all,
Our system is using .Net 1.1 and SQL Server 2000.
In our system, the timeout of SqlCommand is set to 300 seconds (~5 mins). However, there was a case that exception 'ThreadAbortException' was thrown in .Net (IIS Server), with its corresponding query was blocked over 11 minutes.
The case raised a question: 'Which party manages the timeout after the sql command is sent to DB? .Net, IIS Server or SQL Server?' If the timeout is managed by .Net or IIS, is there any setting making SQL Server 2000 possible to kill the aborted process earlier?
Thanks for helps.

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has a recommended method for having backups to tape while running log shipping. For example, is it possible to copy the transaction log backups used for log shipping to tape and apply them to a Full Database Restore from a 3rd Party Backup tool such as Veritas?
My goal is to be able to do a point-in-time restore from tape and still be able to use SQL Server 2005 Log Shipping.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I'm currently running a SQL Server 2005 setup (or so I believe) to use Windows Authentication. When I load Management Studio, the following popup box appears:
Server Type (greyed out): Database Engine
Server Name: Thor
Authentication: Wndows Authentication
U/N and P/W: greyed out
I can connect to my databases using PHP by specifying 'Thor' as my DB host, the DB name and then the username and password of a user I created.
The problem is that I cannot connect to my local server using EMS Data Export 2005 for SQL Server. I can use it to connect to a remote SQL DB on our web server but if I try to connect locally, it generates an error saying that the 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied'.
Does anyone have any experience with connecting to a local SQL server? I'm assuming that I need to setup my server to allow for external connections or something but I'm in the dark on the matter.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks.

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....
