Examples

The following code sample checks whether a user is affected by a business rule.

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

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

# Bind to the user
$userDN = "CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com"
$user = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://$userDN", $null, $null, 0)

# Bind to the business rule
$businessRulesPath = $service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath("BusinessRules")
$businessRulesPathObj = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdsPath" $businessRulesPath
$myRuleAdsPath = $businessRulesPathObj.CreateChildPath("CN=My Rule")

$rule = $service.OpenObject($myRuleAdsPath, $null, $null, 0)

if ($rule.IsInScope($user))
{
    Write-Host "The business rule affects" $user.Get("name")
}
else
{
    Write-Host "The business rule does not affect" $user.Get("name")
}

        AdmNamespace ns = new AdmNamespace();
        IAdmService service = ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost");

        // Bind to the user
        const string userPath = "Adaxes://CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com";
        IAdmTop user = (IAdmTop) service.OpenObject(userPath, null, null, 0);

        // Bind to the business rule
        string businessRulesPath = service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath(
            "BusinessRules");
        AdsPath businessRulesPathObj = new AdsPath(businessRulesPath);

        IAdmBusinessRule rule =
            (IAdmBusinessRule) service.OpenObject(myRuleAdsPath.ToString(), null, null, 0);

        if (rule.IsInScope(user))

        {
            Console.WriteLine("The business rule does not affect {0}", user.Get("name"));
        }
    }
}

FindAffectedObjects()

Returns the IAdmDirectorySearcher interface that can be used to find all directory objects that are affected by the business rule or scheduled task.

IAdmDirectorySearcher FindAffectedObjects()

Examples

The following code sample outputs all directory objects affected by a business rule.

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

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

# Bind to the business rule
$businessRulesPath = $service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath("BusinessRules")
$businessRulesPathObj = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdsPath" $businessRulesPath
$myRuleAdsPath = $businessRulesPathObj.CreateChildPath("CN=My Rule")

$rule = $service.OpenObject($myRuleAdsPath, $null, $null, 0)

# Retrieve the IAdmDirectorySearcher interface that can be used to search for affected objects
$affectedObjectsSeacher = $rule.FindAffectedObjects()

# Set search parameters
$affectedObjectsSeacher.PageSize = 500
$affectedObjectsSeacher.ReferralChasing = "ADS_CHASE_REFERRALS_NEVER"
$affectedObjectsSeacher.SetPropertiesToLoad(@("description"))

# Execute search
try

    $searchResult = $affectedObjectsSeacher.ExecuteSearch()
    
    # Output name and description of each object in search results
    foreach ($objectId in $searchResult.FetchAll())
    {
        Write-Host "Name:" $objectId.Name 
        Write-Host "Description:" $objectId.Properties["description"].Value
        Write-Host
    }
}
finally
{
    $searchResult.Dispose()
