NT Authentication and using form drop down menues

[Greg_Garvin]

We want to begin using AD Integration and Authentication...a question came up:

Once we do being using AD Authentication can we use an LDAP connection to populate drop down menus in Unity forms and other lists w/in OnBase:

Example: we have security request form where we need to populate a name from w/in our AD...can an LDAP connection be used to automatically populate a drop down list from an AD Query?

Thanks for any response.

Hi Greg,

Glad to hear that you are going to start using the AD Integration.

Currently, there is no method to populate drop downs with AD/LDAP information.  This would need to be done through a custom script.  For instance, it would be possible to create an external data set for a keyword using a VBScript to gather the information from AD.  You can find more information in the System Admin Guide under the Configuring a VB Script to Enable External Keyword Data Sets section.

Take care.

Greg,

Did you end up implementing a VB Script to get employee data from AD?  Any chance you would share your script?
