How to build a report based on adm-customAttributeBoolean12

Question

Hello I am trying to build a report. This report should have any user in it that has a True for adm-customboolean12. I am trying this script for testing:

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")

$containerDN = "MyOU(removed DN for security)"

# Connect to the Adaxes service
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

$searcher = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://$containerDN", $null, $null, 0)

$searcher.Criteria = New-AdmCriteria "user" {adm-customAttributeBoolean12 -eq 'True'}
$searcher.SearchScope = "ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE"
try
{
    # Execute search
    $searchResultIterator = $searcher.ExecuteSearch()

    foreach ($searchResult in $searchResultIterator.FetchAll())
    {
        $userPath = $searchResult.AdsPath
        $user = $service.OpenObject($userPath, $null, $null, 0)
        $UN = $User.Name
        $Context.LogMessage("$User", "Information") 
    }
}
finally
{
    # Release resources
    $searchResultIterator.Dispose()
}

I have a test user set up in the OU but the searcher never finds them.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to use Adaxes custom attributes in search criteria. The behavior is by design, but we have the feature in our TODO list. The only option is to bind to each and every found user and check the attribute value.

As another option, you can use a built-in report, Users with non-empty properties. Out of the box, the report is located in container Reports\All Reports\Users.
