This Snap is used to create an entry in Active Directory. An entry (user Account) can be created in any Organizational Unit (OU), Domain Controller (DC) and so on by providing the complete distinguished name which is what LDAP uses to uniquely identify an LDAP object.

The attributes of table will create on suggest based on the existing entry into Active Directory. The table consists of all the fields that need to be generated when the entry is created. Many of the attributes may be mandatory when creating an entry depending on the configuration of the AD instance. Here are some example fields: objectClass, distinguished name which are required.

To generate the suggested attributes into the table, the distinguished name of the existing entry into Active Directory is required.
 

• Expected upstream Snaps: File Reader followed by any file Parser followed by a Structure Snap.
• Expected downstream Snaps: Any file Formatter followed by File Writer.
• Expected input: Existing distinguished name, Entry attributes (Attribute keys, Attribute values)
• Expected output:  The output data as status of entry.

[None]

Works in Ultra Tasks.

This Snap uses account references created on the Accounts page of SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. See Active Directory Basic Auth Account for information on setting up this type of account.

Required. The distinguished name of the existing entry. To generate the suggested attributes in the table, the distinguished name of the existing entry into Active Directory is required.

The LDAP API references an LDAP object by its distinguished name (DN). A DN is a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDN) connected by commas. An RDN is an attribute with an associated value in the form attribute=value, normally expressed in a UTF-8 string format.  The typical RDN attribute types include: 

DC = domainComponent, CN = commonName, OU = organizationalUnitName,O = organizationName, STREET = streetAddress, L = localityName,ST = stateOrProvinceName, C = countryName, UID = userid.

This field is applicable only to existing users. If a user does not exist, you can create the distinguished name manually from the Active Directory server to create a new user using Active Directory Create Entry Snap. Or, by default, the server creates system users when creating the domain space, which you can use as a reference for Existing distinguished name.

Example: A distinguished name for an LDAP entry can be represented as: 

CN=AbcUser,CN=Users,DC=server,DC=company,DC=com. 

In this example, to refer to the entire user list, you can remove the initial attribute, CN=AbcUser.

Default value: [None]

You can also use special characters in the distinguished name. See the section Using Special Characters in Distinguished Name below.

Character or string to be used as delimiter to separate multiple values provided to the Attribute Value field.

Example: ,(Comma), ;(Semi-colon),  :(Colon),  /(Backslash)

Default value:  [None]

Required. The table of suggested attribute key-value pairs to create the entry. Consists of two fields:

• Attribute Key
• Attribute Value

Required. Attribute keys to create the entry.

Default value: [None]

Select to include the entire input data in the Snap's output. The Snap includes this data within the $original field in the output. 

Default value: Not selected

Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

• Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
• Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

• Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
