how do I know the domain controller (URL) for an "Add user to AD Group" orchestration activity?

[patricklatella]

Hi all,

I'm setting up an orchestration for adding users to AD Group using the "Add user to AD Group" activity in my workflow.  One of the fields is domain controller...how do I get the value for this?  Is it necessary to run a "Probe" activity?

thanks!

you can hard code value like xyz.com or dc001.xyx.com. I prefer to store domain controller server name in sys_properties and do gs.getProperty('xyz') in activity

Hi Mike, 

thanks for the reply.  How do I know what the value is though?  We have our LDAP setup already, would the URL be in that setup somewhere?

Hi Mike,

I actually found this script in the documentation...seems to be working

${workflow.inputs.u_user.ldap_server.server_url}

Yes, you can do that too. I add server url when user is imported so I have below in my Tranform Map script

// Set the source LDAP server into the target record
target.ldap_server = source.sys_import_set.data_source.ldap_target.server_url;
