Filter templates and multi-valued dependency attributes

[Wessel, Keith]

Hi, all,

I'm trying to turn the list of groups that a user is a member of in Active Directory into their respective sAMAccountName values. I may end up following Scott's recommendation for my question about nested groups last week to use a web service to do this. But I think there might be an easier way.

Is it possible to write a filter template in a chaining data connector that looks up multiple values of a dependency attribute and returns the full set of results? That is, I want to pass in the memberOf attribute as a dependency to the data connector. For each value of memberOf, I want to look up the group (the memberOf values are the DNs of the groups) and get the sAMAccountName of that group. I don't need to know which sAMAccountName goes with which DN; I just want the list of sAMAccountNames.

I know the LDAPDirectory DataConnector and other data connectors have the concept of multi-valued input attributes, but I'm not sure how to build a query off of them. The docs on the wiki seem vague about this, too.

Thanks,
Keith
