How to Build a Search Filter in LDAP Query

sikhivahans

All, I would like to know how to build a search filter in ldap query in order to search for the users from a particular group for a given DN and OU. Please note that I am making use of LDAP Tools plugin.

Here's the information of the LDAP environment:

Full LDAP Server URL: ldap://myhostname:389
Service Manager Username: CN=Administrator
Service Manager Password: Welcome@123
Base DN: dc=appian
OU: hr (heirarchically falls under dc=appian)
scsExternalSystemKey: ldap.local

And here's how I have tried configuring the search filter in various ways, but I am unable to retrieve any results:

1. ldapsearch(
config:{
scsExternalSystemKey:"ldap.local",
usePerUserCredentials:false,
url:"ldap://myhostname:389",
baseDN: "dc=appian,ou=hr"
},
searchFilter:"(&(ObjectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=user.1)(memberof=CN=development,OU=hr,DC=appian))",
attributes:{},
pagingInfo:a!pagingInfo(
startIndex:1,
...

    @ sikhivahans / @ Mike, we would like to sync up manager attribute to Supervisor in Appian user profile. the problem is manager is mapped to DN and LDAP sync is failing. Is there any suggestion to sync up supervisor from AD using this shared service plug-in?

        baseDN: "DC=PSIAPPIAN,DC=com"

      },

      searchFilter: "(&(ObjectClass=organizationalPerson)(uid=Administrator)(isMemberOf=CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=PSIAPPIAN,DC=com))",

      attributes: {},

      pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(

        startIndex: 1,

        batchSize: - 1

      )

    In scenario#2, it returns success: true however the data was returned as null, it should have returned data for "Administrator".

    And I am using complete DN as username in third party credentials store.
