  • 1.  Filtering Groups

    Posted 12/10/20 07:42 AM
    When I access Active Directory (AD) I can authenticate a user, and can extract user properties, like, name, address, and more.
    One of the important properties I am extracting is the group membership, that is, the list of groups the user belongs to.

    Unfortunately, the list of groups is large, and the customer is telling me to reduce the list to just a few that is really needed.
    So, they are telling me they will put the user groups, under a different sub branch of AD. e.g. The groups may be CN=group1,OU=groups,OU=ABC,DC=com and they will create a new sub branch where I should extract the groups I need, e.g.CN=group1,OU=ISAM,OU=groups,OU=ABC,DC=com.

    Now ISAM can only retrieve the groups that are under OU=ISAM.
    Is this possible to achieve in ISAM?
