Re: Reducing ADAM Accesses

Hi Joe, thanks for this suggestion. I have looked at some documentation on
MSDN but I can't find anything obvious that seems to cover reducing traffic.
Was there anything in particular that you had in mind?

Have you looked at the ADAM tokenGroups attribute on RootDSE?

Hello, I have a question about reducing the number of trips to query group
membership held in and ADAM.

Below is some code that I have butchered from a sample to keep things
simple. The code is intended to bind to a user object and then to iterate
over the group memberships of that user - in order to find out whether the
user is a member of a group. If I was to call this code repeatedly for the
same user it seems to me that there would be repeated binds to the ADAM
followed by repeated iterations of over the group membership.

What suggestions do people have about reducing the number of trips to the
ADAM?


ADsOpenObject(..., (void **)&pIADsUser);

IADsMembers *pIADsMembers;
pIADsUser->Groups(&pIADsMembers)));

pIADsMembers->get__NewEnum(&pUnk);
hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IEnumVARIANT,(void**)&pEnum);

while (SUCCEEDED(hr) && hr != S_FALSE)
{
hr = pEnum->Next(1, &Variant, &ulElementsFetched)));

// hr = false if there is no next
if (hr != S_FALSE)
{
IDispatch *pDispatch = NULL;
IADsGroup *pIADsGroup = NULL;
hr = pDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IADsGroup,(VOID **) &pIADsGroup))) ;

pIADsGroup->get_ADsPath(&groupNameBstr);

}

}
