Subject: Lotus Notes with LDAP Connection
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Domino Server
Technical Area: Application Development
Platform: Windows
Release: 8.5
Reproducible: Always

Objective :- Connect to lotus domino server with authorized credentials and after wards creation, updation & deletion of Users & Groups using LDAP.

Technology used :- C# via Code.

Here i am not using notes client to get connected and create users accordingly.

I am able to create users via LDAP Connection object of .NET Framework. Below is the code for it.
DirectoryAttribute Da;

string dn = String.Format("CN={0},O={1}", user, organization);


// create a request to add the new object
AddRequest AddRequest = new AddRequest(dn);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("sn");
Da.Add(user);
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("cn");
Da.Add(user);
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("userpassword");
Da.Add(password);
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

//Add The Email Path
Da = new DirectoryAttribute("mailfile");
Da.Add(@"mail/" + user);
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("mailserver");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);


// Add the objectClass attribute
Da = new DirectoryAttribute("objectclass");

Da.Add("dominoPerson");
Da.Add("inetOrgPerson");
Da.Add("organizationalPerson");
Da.Add("person");

AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

// Send the request through the connection
m_Ldap.SendRequest(AddRequest);

Problem no 1:- I am not able to create user Email file folder and .ID file, for which I need to register the user that I dont know how to register a user via LDAP connection.

Problem no 2:- I am not able to create groups using this LDAP connection as a error comes up mentioning "An object class voilation occurs". Here is the code for creating groups.

DirectoryAttribute Da;

string dn = String.Format("CN={0},O={1}", user, organization);


// create a request to add the new object
AddRequest AddRequest = new AddRequest(dn);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Group name");
Da.Add("Test Group");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Group type");
Da.Add("Servers only ");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);



//Add The Email Path
Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Internet address");
Da.Add("WWW.GOOGLE.COM");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Mail Domain");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Auto-Populate Method");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Home Server(s)");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Additional Members");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Excluded Members");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Members");
Da.Add("GVV/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);


Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Owners");
Da.Add("Abhishek Rai/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Administrators");
Da.Add("Abhishek Rai/HCL");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

Da = new DirectoryAttribute("Allow foreign directory synchronization");
Da.Add("Yes");
AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);


Da.Add("groupOfNames");

AddRequest.Attributes.Add(Da);

// Send the request through the connection
m_Ldap.SendRequest(AddRequest);
