Hi All: I'm in the middle of a contract that's making pretty extensive use out of CFLDAP (which I've maybe used twice prior to this job). One task is to write a method that gets users by group. Problem is, some of the group members are groups themselves.
The request came in to recurse over the results and check each one to see if it's a person or a group, and if a group, re-run the method to get the users in that group. On Friday I refactored the method to do this, and effectively launched a denial of service attack on the server. In running the method, I returned 10 results... 5 of which were people, 5 of which were groups. Recursing to get the members of the 5 groups returned resulted in a bind request to the server every .02 seconds until the server, in technical parlance, shat the bed. I noticed a "rebind" attribute of the cfldap tag, but I'm not sure that gives me what I'm looking for. What I'm hoping for is something along the lines of: 1) make request to server/authenticate 2) run query 3) run query 4) (keep doing this until we've drilled down far enough to return only people) 5) disconnect from server "Rebind", as I understand it from the docs, will tell a single <cfldap> call to use the existing credentials (versus trying to connect anonymously) if the request hops from server to server. I'm a bit out of my comfort zone here, not being familiar with the cfldap tag or AD in general... is there any way of doing what I outlined above? It's been made pretty clear to me that all involved parties would prefer that I not crash the server anymore. Thanks :) Charlie -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
