Sun LDAP query to fetch group hierarchy

[niku shah]

Hello,

I want to fetch group hierarchy for one of the group in our Sun Directory ldap system.

I am using Pentaho 4.x version LDAP component to fetch LDAP groups hierarchy. But It fetches all the groups from the system
My requirement is to fetch full members hierarchy for a given group in LDAP.

What kind of search filter can be used?

Please let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Nikesh

You need to set the base DN for your search. I've never used Pentaho so I can't tell you how to do this. Try searching the documentation for search base DN or search base distinguished name

Thanks for the quick reply Joanne,

When I set Search base attribute in Pentaho = "ou=groups, dc=test,dc=comp,dc=net"

It returns ALL the groups hierarchy from LDAP

When I set it to one of the group, it returns all the direct members
"cn=MY_GROUP_NAME,ou=groups, dc=test,dc=comp,dc=net"

Now our requirement is to fetch group/user hierarchy of given group, "MY_GROUP_NAME"

Thanks
Nikesh

You need to set the scope of your search. It appears that your first search id set to a subtree scope (which will return the entire hierarchy) whilst your second is set to One (which will only return immediate sub items).
