I have created an EOModel for accessing User objects from an Active
Directory Server. I am able to bind to the server and retrieve data
with no
problem. I would now like to associate objects in my database with
Users in
the Active Directory Server. To do this, I am going to store the
objectGUID
(since it does not change if the user is renamed or moved) as a field
in my
database for use in looking up users in the ADS.
The problem I have is that according to the ADS documentation the value
is a
16 byte (128 bit) binary value stored as an "octet string" but when I
retrieve the value via my EOModel and attempt to store it in my database
field, I'm told that I'm trying to store 28 bytes of data into a 16 byte
field.
I have looked at the value stored in the database and only the last
(right-most) 4 bytes of the numbers look like what is stored in the
directory (as viewed by an LDAP administrator tool). The rest of the
value
does not look the same.
Does anyone have any experience with accessing the objectGUID field via
the
JNDI/EOModel? I'm wondering if it is simply a mater of encoding or
something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
