LDAPSearch Active Directory Root

erikpotteiger · ‎12-09-2008

I am trying to use the localizeddirectory.asp service with my cisco IP Phones.

It does work but I cannot figure out how to specify my LDAP Search base as the whole Active Directory.

I have a Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain. The root of the domain is "DC=schools,DC=org"

I have an OU call administration.

If I set the code to point to "OU=Administration,DC=schools,DC=org" I can search all users in the Administration OU and return phone numbers. It works.

I try setting the LDAP search base to a more general path "DC=schools,DC=org" so I can search all of my organization but it returns a 500 internal server error.

Can you use the root of a windows 2003 Active Directory domain as the search base for the LDAPSearch.dll version 3?

Thanks

Hi

I've just logged on to post this exact query - I've tried the same things as you with the same results.

It seems the v3 DLL won't bind to the root of a domain.

Has anyone else got this problem and/or a solution?

Chris and Ryan,

I changed the port to 3268 and then changed the ldap search base to the root and it works!!!! Awesome, I can see the whole directory!

Thank you so much!

As a test to see if referrals are the problem, you can point the search to your AD Global Catalog server and use port 3268. The GC eliminates the need for referrals.
