Setting an object’s manager

To update the manager attribute you just set it to the distinguished name of the existing user you require. A distinguished name is of the form: CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com.

So to set Jane Active’s manager to the existing user “John Smith” you would use a message like this:

<ActiveDirectoryUpdate>

<Directives WhereToBind=”LDAP://CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com” SearchScope=”onelevel” ObjectTypeFilter=”(objectClass=user)” MaxObjects=”1″/>

<Target PropertyName=”cn” EqualToValue=”Jane Active” />

<Change PropertyName=”manager” ChangeToValue=”CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com” ChangeType=”update” />

</ActiveDirectoryUpdate>

FAQs
Is there a WCF version of ActiveADAPTER?

Yes. ActiveADAPTER is available as a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service. So with or without BizTalk Server, you can query and update Active Directory with ActiveADAPTER

ActiveADAPTER WCF exposes essentially the same functionality as our Active Directory Send and Receive Adapters.

ActiveADAPTER WCF services can be consumed by BizTalk Server, but BizTalk Server is not required.

Is the ability to create Solicit-Response ports that query Active Directory on demand part of the Receive Adapter or the Send Adapter?

Both. The query is sent out by the send adapter. The actual querying is done by components of the receive adapter. Therefore, to be licensed to create Solicit-Response send ports, you need to be licensed for both the ActiveADAPTER send and receive adapters.
