Question

I am trying to add a user to Active Directory through an MPS Web Service. I ve been trying a long time to find the correct LDAP-url to use to tell it to add the new user to the Users group. I ve tried things like:

LDAP://XXXX.YYY/OU=Users,DC=XXXX,DC=YYY
LDAP://XXXX.YYY/CN=Users,DC=XXXX,DC=YYY
LDAP://XXXX.YYY/DN=Users,DC=XXXX,DC=YYY

It seems the "farthest" I ve gotten is an error that says I have given it an invalid Customer.

I really don t have a lot of experience with LDAP (pretty much none at all), so even just a good LDAP and Active Directory tutorial would be extremely useful (even that is eluding me right now). Thanks!

I ve since lookup up the actual distinguished name in ADSI Edit, which was LDAP://XXXX.YYY/CN=Users,DC=XXXX,DC=YYY, but still have no luck.

Answer 1

You can start with:

Answer 2

You have error in your LDAP string. Let s have examle: user with account name User1 in organization unit Office1 where contoso.com is domain.

Object:

contoso.com/Users/Office1/User1

LDAP Path is:

LDAP://CN=User1,OU=Office1,OU=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com

Note that there is no slash in path itself

CN = Common Name
OU = Organizational Unit
DC = Domain Component

Answer 3

if your domain is xxxx.yyyy.zzzz and you are search for all users; your path is:
LDAP://CN=Users,DC=xxxx,DC=yyyy,DC=zzzz
means every dot in domain replace with dc=

Answer 4

More directly, the default Users container (not a group) in a default Active Directory install would be CN=Users,dc=domain,dc=com

You are not clear if you are having trouble adding a user to a group, or if you are having trouble creating a user in a specific location.
