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
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 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 Replies View RelatedHello 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 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

Hello,
I am upgrading my site from a VPS with a shared SQL server to a dedicated server and my own sql server 2003 standard. My site is an ecommerce site with about 10,000 users a month with between 10-20 people on the site at one time.
It is better to host both my site and the SQL server on the same system or is it better to have them on separate systems? if they are on the same system is 1 gig of ram enough? is will there really be much better performance with 2 gigs?
Any information on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated!!!

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....

I'm currently learning my way around with SQL Server 2005 and asp.net 2.0, and for this I wrote a little site that uses SQL Server for it's backend.
I developed it on my laptop, and it works great, until I deployed the website to my test server, so it's visible to the outside world.
The instance I try to access any page that invokes the database, I get the following error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
The server doesn't differ much from my laptop setup, except that it accepts connections through named pipes and TCP/IP and has the Network Service as a user(I also tried running the website under Administrator privileges, just to test it out).
Both IIS and the SQL Server running on the same machine(Windows 2003 Server SP1), and the SQL server accepts connections from a locally running SQL Management Studio Express instance. However: It does not accept connections from my laptop, which resides outside the domain. The server is set to use Windows Authentication for log ins.
What am I doing wrong here?
EDIT: Filled out this found questionare:
[1] Client side:
What is the connection string in you app or DSN? (please specify) connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=EroSite;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

What protocol the client enabled? Shared Memory, TCPIP, Named Pipes.Do
you have aliases configured that match the server name portion of your
connection string? NoDo you select force encryption on server and/or client? No
[2] Server side:
