Accessing AD data from user name using codeless solution - Ian

Wednesday, November 14, 2007 3:50 PM

Hi

I have a form that refers to users (other than the current user) and I want
to validate them and access their Active Directory data. I have played with
the method outline in the first part of wkriebel's blog:
http://weblogs.asp.net/wkriebel/archive/2005/01/24/359669.aspx
This involves setting the query value field in the GetUserProfileByName
webservice (supplied with MOSS) to the user Name and interrogating the
results.

From analysis I know the query field is being updated but for some reason
the query doesn't seem to be firing as the results are not updated.

Can anyone help with this - I have trolled the Internet without success

Note that I am using MOSS and Infopath 2003 SP2 (which seems to be supplied
with MOSS). Any solution has to be codeless


Thanks

Hey Ian.

Have you looked at the AD webservice included with the Database Accelerator
at http://www.qdabra.com?
It is codeless and can do a lookup and return all of the data on a
particular user, return the current user's domain account(not just the local
account which can be different in a VPN or RAS scenario), and verify a user's
group membership.

I use that so I am not real familiar with the MOSS version.

Thanks Clay

I just need something to tidy up a process - theres no will to buy a
solution.  There are some web services around on the net that provide some of
the funtionality but I am trying to work under the IT radar. From what I have
seen I should be able to do this relatively simply using inbuilt Infopath
functionality. I'm just missing that vital piece of the jigsaw

I'm unfamiliar with the solution, but have you added a rule somewhere (such
as on a button) with an Action to "Query using a data connection" and
selected the "GetUserProfileByName" data connection? You need to query the
data connection after you've set the value for the username, otherwise no
data will be returned.

Thanks Wong-A-Ton

The information you provided worked and the codeless updating of user
details is functioning from the user account name which is a great step
forward.

Is there a web sevice (or some other way) that will support a query on Full
Name and either return account name or other profile details?

Thanks

I don't know of any, but I'm sure you could write a custom web service to
retrieve that kind of information. It might be worth posting your question in
one of the SharePoint groups?
