User Group Membership * (will card search)

Question

Hello ,

I need to search * for user group membership. Users are divided into three groups in this example. xyz.abc, xls.abc, and cts.abc are the names of the groups. I'd like to find group members using a search like this *.abc

Thank you

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to perform such a search. The limitation comes from AD and LDAP. It is not related to Adaxes. However, you can create a report that will require entering just a part of group name and output members of all the groups matching the specified criteria. For information on how to create reports in Adaxes, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_ActiveDirectoryManagement_CreateReport.htm.

Hello,

I can find it when I search with CN on Ldap search.

(&(objectCategory=group)(cn=CONST))

Hello,

Thank you for the provided details. To achieve the desired, replace this line in the script

$Context.DirectorySearcher.AppendFilter("(&(objectCategory=group)(name=*$groupNameEnd))")

with the following one:

$Context.DirectorySearcher.AppendFilter("(&(objectCategory=group)(cn=*$groupNameEnd*))")

Hello,

If you don't mind, I would like to ask a short question. How to add user group name column for report

Hello,

It can only be done using a custom column and modifying the script. The column can only be second or further as the Name column always comes first in report. Also, report columns are single-line. As such if a user is a member of multiple groups matching the pattern, they can only be specified in the column as a single line with a separator (e.g. comma).

As another option, items can be added to the report as many time as many groups matching the pattern there are members of and then grouped by the corresponding column. You can see the approach in a built-in report, Members of groups. By default, the report is located in container Reports\All Reports\Groups\Membership.
