How do I acquire an IADsUser object for use with the Active Directory API?












1















How do I set up the incoming parameter pUser to pass into this function CheckUserGroups(IADsUser *pUser)? I saw function on another post but they did not explain it in detail: Need to retrieve all groups a user belongs to... in C++



Please advise.



HRESULT CheckUserGroups(IADsUser *pUser)
{
IADsMembers *pGroups;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;

hr = pUser->Groups(&pGroups);
pUser->Release();
if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;

IUnknown *pUnk;
hr = pGroups->get__NewEnum(&pUnk);
if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;
pGroups->Release();

IEnumVARIANT *pEnum;
hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IEnumVARIANT,(void**)&pEnum);
if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;

pUnk->Release();

// Enumerate.
BSTR bstr;
VARIANT var;
IADs *pADs;
ULONG lFetch;
IDispatch *pDisp;

VariantInit(&var);
hr = pEnum->Next(1, &var, &lFetch);
while(hr == S_OK)
{
if (lFetch == 1)
{
pDisp = V_DISPATCH(&var);
pDisp->QueryInterface(IID_IADs, (void**)&pADs);
pADs->get_Name(&bstr);
printf("Group belonged: %Sn",bstr);
SysFreeString(bstr);
pADs->Release();
}
VariantClear(&var);
pDisp=NULL;
hr = pEnum->Next(1, &var, &lFetch);
};
hr = pEnum->Release();
return S_OK;
}

          Here is an exmaple to create and set up IADsUser *pUser(change "Administrator" to your username):



              HRESULT hr = S_OK;
          IADsUser *pUser;
          _bstr_t bstr;
          DWORD ll_len = 255;
          char lbBuffer[255];
          ::GetComputerName(lbBuffer, &ll_len);

          bstr = "WinNT://" + _bstr_t(lbBuffer) + "/" + _bstr_t("Administrator") + ",user";

          hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
          hr = ADsGetObject(bstr, IID_IADsUser, (void **)&pUser);

          if (SUCCEEDED(hr))

          hr = CheckUserGroups(pUser);
          /*

          For LDAP, you may get help from the example in this document, change the first parameter of ADsGetObject.
