Script repository

Import possible values for properties from SQL Database

February 25, 2021 Views: 3465

The script updates allowed property values in a property pattern based on the data from MS SQL database. To run the script, create a scheduled task configured for the Domain-DNS object type and add a managed domain to the Activity Scope of the task.

Parameters:

  • $databaseHost - Specifies the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the MS SQL database host.
  • $databaseName - Specifies the database name.
  • $patternDN - Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the property pattern to update. For information on how to get the DN of a directory object, see Get the DN of a directory object.
  • $fieldInfo - Maps the name of the field in the MS SQL database with the corresponding table name, property LDAP name and property mandatory state (required/not required).
  • $databaseUsername - Specifies the username to be used to connect to the database. If set to $NULL, the credentials of the Adaxes service account will be used.
  • $databasePassword - Specifies the database password. If set to $NULL, the credentials of the Adaxes service account will be used.
