Dim x As IADs
x =
GetObject("LDAP://CN=My-Attribute-Name,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=paramail,DC=com";)
x.GetInfo()
x.Get("cn") ' ok
x.Get("attributeSyntax") ' error: The Active Directory datatype cannot be converted
to/from a native DS datatype
The codes above doens't work for attributeSyntax but works for cn,
any idea? I guess this is related with the problem below. I have to
use anonymous access since I need to parse LDAP message, if using username
and password, all messages are encrypted and cannot be parsed.
Thanks a lot.

Subject: [ActiveDir] read user-defined attribute with ADSI
Hi all,
I installed an Active Directory and use ADSI to access it.
I defined some extented attributes and objectClass in Active Directory.
Then a new object with type of extened objectClass is created, and the
new object has attribute of cn and some extented attributes. I can use
ADSI to retreive this object, but the problem is: when binding with the
object with anonymous user, use IADs.Get( ) to retreive extented attributes
causes an error: "The Active Directory datatype cannot be converted to/from
a native DS datatype". However, with anonymous bind, IADs.Get("cn") can
get the cn attribute of the object. If I bind the object with administrator's
username and password, then I can also use IADs.Get( ) to get the value of
extended attributes. So I guess it's some problem with permissions. I checked
ACEs in cn and extended attributes, they looks the same. And I also grants
read permission on the object to Everyone.
May anybody give some hints on this? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Jingyu
