I'm pulling login IDs, user names and email addresses from Exchange 5.5,
also. The biggest problem I had was that the LDAP server portion of it had
not been planned to be used and was not configured to populate correctly.
For example, the organizational units are totally useless to me.
Fortunately
the login name is unique because even the distinguished name isn't formatted
correctly.
Many of Exchange's LDAP attributes are not standard LDAP. (Big surprise
there.)
Rumor is the new version will match the standard much better and will use
LDAP
at its core.
Something else to watch out for is the server-side limit on number of
returned
rows. Most servers default to 100. I thought I could get around this by
using
start and end to let the user step through the results in chunks but (on our
server, anyway) LDAP would return the 100 matches BASED ON THE DATE THEY
WERE
ADDED, then sort would order that result set. Nothing a little CF can't
fix,
the results from the looped CFLDAP had to be dumped into an array and
ordered
there.
I also would like to see some actual training on Advanced Security, we've
done
some testing with limited success.

Hi
Does anyone have any pointers/experience/references/URLs of using the CFLDAP
tag to build LDAp aware applications and of using CF Advanced Security with
LDAP v3 servers for authentication?
Any help would be much appreciated.
