IADsNameTranslate::InitEx method (iads.h)

2021-04-02

The IADsNameTranslate::InitEx method initializes a name translate object by binding to a specified directory server, ___domain, or global catalog, using the specified user credential. To initialize the object without an explicit user credential, use IADsNameTranslate::Init.

The IADsNameTranslate::InitEx method initializes the object by setting the server or ___domain that the object will point to and supplying a user credential.

Syntax

HRESULT InitEx(
  long lnSetType,
  BSTR bstrADsPath,
  BSTR bstrUserID,
  BSTR bstrDomain,
  BSTR bstrPassword
);

Parameters

lnSetType

A type of initialization to be performed. Possible values are defined in ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_ENUM.

bstrADsPath

The name of the server or ___domain, depending on the value of lnInitType. When ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC is issued, this parameter is ignored. The global catalog server of the ___domain of the current machine will be used to carry out the name translate operations. This method will fail if the computer is not part of a ___domain, as no global catalog will be found in this scenario. For more information, see ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_ENUM.

bstrUserID

User name.

bstrDomain

User ___domain name.

bstrPassword

User password.

Return value

Returns a standard HRESULT or RPC error code, including:

Remarks

After the successful initialization, use the name translate object to submit requests of name translations of directory objects. For more information see IADsNameTranslate::Set, IADsNameTranslate::Get, IADsNameTranslate::SetEx, or IADsNameTranslate::GetEx.

Examples

The following C/C++ code example uses the IADsNameTranslate::InitEx method to initialize an IADsNameTranslate object before the distinguished name of a user object is rendered in the s format.

IADsNameTranslate *pNto;
HRESULT hr;
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_NameTranslate,
                      NULL,
                      CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                      IID_IADsNameTranslate,
                      (void**)&pNto);
if(FAILED(hr)) { exit 1;}
 
hr = pNto->InitEx(ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_SERVER,
                  CComBSTR("myServer"),
                  CComBSTR("jeffsmith"),
                  CComBSTR("Fabrikam"),
                  CComBSTR("top secret"));
if (FAILED(hr)) { exit 1;}
 
hr =pNto->Set(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779,
             CComBSTR("cn=jeffsmith,cn=users,dc=Fabrikam,dc=com"));
if(FAILED(hr)) {exit 1;}
 
BSTR bstr;
hr = pNto->Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, &bstr);
printf("Name in the translated format: %S\n", bstr);
 
SysFreeString(bstr);
pNto->Release();

The following Visual Basic code example uses the IADsNameTranslate::InitEx method to initialize an IADsNameTranslate object in order to have the distinguished name of a user object rendered in the s user name format.

Dim nto As New NameTranslate
dso="CN=jeffsmith, CN=users, DC=Fabrikam dc=COM"
server = "myServer"
___domain = "Fabrikam"
user = "jeffsmith"
passwd = "myPass"
 
nto.InitEx  ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_SERVER, server,user,___domain,passwd
nto.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779, dso
trans = nto.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4) 
MsgBox "Name in the translated format: " & trans

The following VBScript/ASP code example uses the IADsNameTranslate::InitEx method to initialize an IADsNameTranslate object in order to have the distinguished name of a user object rendered in the s user name format.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<html>
<body>
<%
  Dim nto
  const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_SERVER = 2  ' VBScript cannot read 
  const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1        ' enumeration definition
  const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3
 
  server = "myServer"
  ___domain = "Fabrikam"
  user = "jeffsmith"
  passwd = "myPass"
 
  dn = "CN=jeffsmith,CN=Users,DC=Fabrikam,DC=COM" 
 
  Set nto = Server.CreateObject("NameTranslate")
  nto.InitEx ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_SERVER, server,user,___domain,passwd
  nto.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779, dn
  result = nto.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4)
 
  Response.Write "<p>Name in the translated format: " & result
 
%>
</body>
</html>
