Also, watch out for possible legal values that users pass in. They can enter:
username domain\username domain/username [email protected] You will need to strip off anything that is not the username before you use it in your CFLDAP filter, if you are filtering on sAMAccountName. If they type [email protected], you can filter on userPrincipalName. However, I usually just strip everything except the username.

I would like CF to pick up automatically a users domain networkID and then set this as a variable to query against another database, although at the moment I am using a CFDUMP just to see the result. This is what I have at the moment, and I am getting the error below "Variable SAMACCOUNTNAME is undefined." Any ideas? ----CODE SNIPPET----------- <cfset StartOU="dc=domain, dc=co,dc=uk"> <cfldap action="query" name="adresult" attributes = "sAMAccountName,dn, cn,sn,givenName,password, mail,ou" start="#StartOU#" scope="subtree" filter="samaccountName=#samaccountName#" server="server" port="389" username="username" password="password" > </head> <body> <cfdump var="#sAMAccountName#"> ----------------------- Regards, Ian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317770 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
