Method Detail

convertObjectGUIToByteString

public static String convertObjectGUIToByteString(byte[] objectGUID)

Creates a byte-based String representation of a raw byte array representing the value of the objectGUID attribute retrieved from Active Directory.

The returned string is useful to perform queries on AD based on the objectGUID value. Eg.:

String filter = "(&(objectClass=*)(objectGUID" + EQUAL + convertObjectGUIToByteString(objectGUID) + "))";

Parameters:

objectGUID - A raw byte array representing the value of the objectGUID attribute retrieved from Active Directory.

Returns:

A byte-based String representation in the form of \[0]\[1]\[2]\[3]\[4]\[5]\[6]\[7]\[8]\[9]\[10]\[11]\[12]\[13]\[14]\[15]

decodeObjectGUID

public static String decodeObjectGUID(byte[] objectGUID)

Decode a raw byte array representing the value of the objectGUID attribute retrieved from Active Directory.

The returned string is useful to directly bind an entry. Eg.:

String bindingString = decodeObjectGUID(objectGUID);
Attributes attributes = ctx.getAttributes(bindingString);

Parameters:

objectGUID - A raw byte array representing the value of the objectGUID attribute retrieved from Active Directory.

Returns:

A string representing the decoded value in the form of [3][2][1][0]-[5][4]-[7][6]-[8][9]-[10][11][12][13][14][15].
