Are you expecting ri!user to contain a list of users, or would it only be a single user? If it's only a single user, then I'd recommend removing the a!forEach() and directly querying the data - then you should be able to index the data correctly.

If you are expecting an array of users, is it possible to reconstruct your search filter to search for multiple users at once? I must confess, I am not an expert at LDAP queries, so I'm not sure if this is possible. However, I'd recommend thinking of ways to return this data in a single query. If you use a!forEach() with ldapsearch() it will perform the search invidually for each item in the list which may lead to poor performance.

PFB code:

with(
local!id:ri!user,
local!ldap:a!forEach(
items: local!id,
expression: ldapsearch(
config:{
scsExternalSystemKey: cons!CREDENTIALS,
usePerUserCredentials: false(),
url: cons!URL,
timeout: 10000,
VLVControlSupported: false()
},
searchFilter:"(&(objectCategory=User)(samaccountname=" &fv!item& "*)(!(userAccountControl:1)))",
attributes: {
/*"cn",*/
"sn",
"mail",
"samaccountname",
"givenname"
},
pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1,-1)
)
).result,
local!ldap
)

For some reason your dataset is an array of type datasubset - you can see this because it is tagged: List of DataSubset: 1 item. This isn't usually how datasubsets are generated or passed about in an application, so you may want to find out why this is being generated as an array.

Can you post the full expression? If you're trying to run this in a!forEach(), there should be an easier way that doesn't require a loop (and then you can directly reference the fields you want); however, I'd need to see the full expression to provide a better suggestion.

Thank you i tried , it give below error .

LAST PART of CODE

).result,
local!ldap.data.mail

Expression evaluation error : Cannot index "data" because it is an array type (List of Variant). Only fields with scalar types can be indexed from an array.

I am querying AD in for loop with userid's to get the user details ,

In the datasubset type, the "data" field contains all the data inside, so you would need to index into the data first before each field. It should work if you try:

local!data.data.name
