Anyway, below is my resulting test program. While different LDAP repositories can follow different schemas (such as the one I had to work with in real time used different attribute names), this one will work for the one in the IBM tutorial listed above. Working with LDAP can be tricky if you’ve never worked with it before due to the confusion of using full DN’s vs when you can use RDN’s. Basically, LDAP is just a repository for named user objects. In the IBM example, you have a user, with particular attributes, and each user is stored in the people tree of the repository. What gets confusing is the use of DN’s. DN’s are the names. To access things, you reference a full DN to search for one that has a particular attribute that matches. You can pretty much always use DN’s anywhere, and writing a small utility method that will append the full DN to a RDN can be helpful.
