It took me a long time to figure this out... and then of course I said "DOH"
a lot... but you can query most ldap servers with a wildcard in the
attributes field to get all of the fields. Below is a file I use for this
task. Change the filter to a value that will only return one record.
(there is only one "kibbey" in our directory, so I use myself) If you don't,
the query will work, but you will get repeat attributes listed. If anyone
has a better way to get all of the attributes out of an LDAP server, I'd
love to hear it.
<cfldap action="QUERY"
name="GetAttributes"
attributes="*"
start="c=US"
scope="SUBTREE"
filter="(sn=kibbe*)"
sort="cn"
server="your.ldapserver.com"
port="389"
timeout="20">
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>All LDAP Attributes</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfoutput><b>Total Attributes: #getattributes.recordcount#</b></cfoutput>
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">

<cfloop index="Attribute" list="#GetAttributes.ColumnList#">

</cfloop>

<cfloop query="getattributes">

<cfloop index="Attribute" list="#GetAttributes.ColumnList#">
<cfoutput>
<td nowrap>#Evaluate(
'GetAttributes.#Trim(Attribute)#' )#</td>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
</body>

Steve,
How did you pass the UID and password into LDAP? I searched in Novell's
developer website, but couldn't find any useful information about LDAP (i.e.
a list of what attributes are available).
Also, were you querying GroupWise's LDAP, or NDS directly?
Thanks!

I last tried this during the beta of CF 4.5. You can use CF's native SLDAP
client functionality to authenticate via an NDS 5 tree. The only thing I ran
into was that there isn't a login function per se. I used LDAP to query the
tree for specific fields, passing the UID and password along as part of the
query. If the username AND/OR password fail a generic "error occurred"
message was returned. To be somewhat reliable I wrote a parsing routine that
checked returned messages for strings indicating that there was an error. I
didn't have the time to really test out this functionality but, it holds
promise.
I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but, Rick's NWAuth holds
possibilities and I'm dying to check it out.
Regards,
Steve

I didn't see any useful responses to this, so I'll just plug myself for a
moment ... :)
I wrote a (free with source) ISAPI DLL for IIS that authenticates Novell
users against NDS trees. I dunno if that's what you need, but if nothing
else you could always just look at the source and use LDAP to recreate it.
(I *think* that should work anyway.) It's available at:

Has anyone seen a way to authenticate a user's password from a Novell NDS
server?
