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?
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
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?

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.

How to resolve this ..
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!

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

I am struggling to set a SQL Server Express for remote access...
Since it is the only instance on this server, I have set it up to use port 1433 by amending the IPALL entry of the Server Network Configuration, TCP/IP Properties.
I have also disabled "Shared Memory" and "Named Pipes" to leave only TCP/IP enabled as a server network config.
I have stopped the Browser Service because I think I don't need it if I use port 1433.
From the server itself, I can connect to my SQL Server through "localhostSQLEXPRESS" or "servernameSQLEXPRESS" but not from "10.xxx.xxx.xxxSQLEXPRESS" or "127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS"
I suppose until I can access my server from itself using the IPAddress, there is no chance connecting remotely...

We have a monitor tool to monitor our SQL servers.The vendor has a script to grant permission to application account to SQL server so that they can do the monitoring.
I don't want to grant system admin role, but the script they have is very specific, the minimum is:
must be a member of db_datareader role on the msdb database
must have view server state permissions
view any definition
connection permission to master database
execute permission on the xp_readerrorlog stored procedure
connect permission to the msdb database
must be member of db_Datareader role in the msdb datab ase
connect permission to all databases.
The script given by vendor is as follows in the attachment.I don't like the last execute statement for if a new database is created, we have to remember manually add the monitoring acccount to that database.
I know in SQL 2014 it has a new feature of connect to any database, but unfortunately we are using SQL 2012 and 2008.
script to connect to any database but no need to add that each time we creates a new 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,

Does anyone know how I can do this. I already found some articles in this forum that provide solutions how to access

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....
