IAdmPropertyPatternContainer

The IAdmPropertyPatternContainer interface represents the container where property patterns are stored. The container is located at the Adaxes Configuration Server (AD LDS).

Inheritance: IAdmTop

Methods

Details

GetEffectivePropertyPatterns()

Returns an array of GUIDs of the property patterns effective for the given object.

Byte[][] GetEffectivePropertyPatterns(IAdmTop targetObject)

Parameters

The targetObject parameter specifies the directory object to get effective property patterns for.

Return value

Each GUID is represented as an array of 16 bytes (Byte[]), and the method returns an array of arrays of byte (Byte[][]).

Using the GUIDs, you can bind to the property patterns. For more information on how to use GUIDs to bind to directory objects, see Binding to ADSI objects.

Examples

The following code sample outputs names and descriptions of property patterns effective for a user.

PowerShell

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

# Bind to the 'Property Patterns' container
$propertyPatternsPath = $service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath("PropertyPatterns")
$propertyPatternsContainer = $service.OpenObject($propertyPatternsPath, $null, $null, 0)

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

# Get effective property patterns
$propertyPatternsGuidsBytes = $propertyPatternsContainer.GetEffectivePropertyPatterns($user)

GetEffectivePropertyPatternsEx()

Returns an array of GUIDs of the property patterns effective for multiple objects. The method returns only property patterns effective for all the given objects. If a property pattern is not effective for at least one of the objects, the property pattern will not be returned.

Byte[][] GetEffectivePropertyPatternsEx(string[] targetObjectPaths)

Parameters

The targetObjectPaths parameter specifies an array of ADS paths of the objects to get effective property patterns for.

Return value

Each GUID is represented as an array of 16 bytes (Byte[]), and the method returns an array of arrays of byte (Byte[][]).

Using the GUIDs, you can bind to the property patterns. For more information on how to use GUIDs to bind to directory objects, see Binding to ADSI objects.
