String
representation of a raw byte array representing the value of theobjectGUID
attribute retrieved from Active Directory.The returned string is useful to perform queries on AD based on the
objectGUID
value. Eg.:String filter = "(&(objectClass=*)(objectGUID" + EQUAL + convertObjectGUIDToByteString(objectGUID) + "))";
- Parameters:
objectGUID
- A raw byte array representing the value of theobjectGUID
attribute retrieved from Active Directory.- Returns:
- A byte-based String representation in the form of \[0]\[1]\[2]\[3]\[4]\[5]\[6]\[7]\[8]\[9]\[10]\[11]\[12]\[13]\[14]\[15]
-

guid
- A GUID in the form of a dashed String as the result of (@see LDAPUtil#convertToDashedString)- Returns:
- A String representation in the form of \[0][1]\[2][3]\[4][5]\[6][7]\[8][9]\[10][11]\[12][13]\[14][15]
-
encodeObjectEDirectoryGUID
Converts the EDirectory GUID string into the byte array.- Parameters:
guid
-- Returns:
-
encodeObjectGUID
Encode a string representing the display value of the
objectGUID
attribute retrieved from Active Directory.- Parameters:
displayString
- A string representing the decoded value in the form of [3][2][1][0]-[5][4]-[7][6]-[8][9]-[10][11][12][13][14][15].- Returns:
- A raw byte array representing the value of the
objectGUID
attribute retrieved from Active Directory.
-
decodeObjectGUID
Decode a raw byte array representing the value of the
objectGUID
attribute retrieved from Active Directory.The returned string is useful to directly bind an entry. Eg.:
String bindingString = decodeObjectGUID(objectGUID);
Attributes attributes = ctx.getAttributes(bindingString);- Parameters:
objectGUID
- A raw byte array representing the value of theobjectGUID
attribute retrieved from Active Directory.- Returns:
- A string representing the decoded value in the form of [3][2][1][0]-[5][4]-[7][6]-[8][9]-[10][11][12][13][14][15].
