Creating a Group in Active Directory

[Bumbsiii]

Hey Folks,

I want to simply create a group in my Active Directory via Java and ldap-protocol. I´ve got a connection, can read Groups/Users and so on.
Do I need any further class libraries or does java offer these options to create a group and I´m just to stupid to find it?! =P
I couldn´t find anything about it, yet. I would be very happy if someone could give me an example or just a little hint =)

What is your ldap server and what is your ldap client? MS? Apache? Novell?

I guess this can help:

Novell Documentation

Find example:
'AddEntry.java'

cheers

Yeah that worked nice. Had some trouble, because I was to stupid to take the right objectclass but now everything works fine =)

Thanks, FON =)

I'm glad i can help :)

Can you pls share that solution with rest of forum people,
so they have a reason to read this thread when needed?

I hope this is enough to explain that =P

public void createGroupsInAD()
    throws LDAPException, UnsupportedEncodingException
  {
    LDAPConnection lc = new LDAPConnection();

    lc.connect("10.0.0.64", 389);

    lc.bind(LDAPConnection.LDAP_V3, ADMIN_NAME, ADMIN_PASSWORD.getBytes("UTF8"));

    try
    {
      LDAPAttributeSet loAttrSet = new LDAPAttributeSet();
      String dn = "cn=Groupname,ou=Security Groups,ou=MyBusiness,dc=OC,dc=local";    
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("objectclass", new String("Group")));
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("name", new String("Groupname")));
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("sAMAccountname", new String("Groupname")));
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("description", new String("All Groupnames")));
      LDAPEntry newEntry = new LDAPEntry(dn, loAttrSet);

      lc.add(newEntry);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      // TODO: handle exception
    }

    try
    {
      LDAPAttributeSet loAttrSet = new LDAPAttributeSet();
      String dn = "cn=Groupname2,ou=Security Groups,ou=MyBusiness,dc=OC,dc=local";
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("objectclass", new String("Group")));
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("name", new String("Groupname2")));
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("sAMAccountname", new String("PO_ADMIN")));
      loAttrSet.add(new LDAPAttribute("description", new String("All Groupname2")));
      LDAPEntry newEntry = new LDAPEntry(dn, loAttrSet);

      lc.add(newEntry);

    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      // TODO: handle exception
    }
    lc.disconnect();
  }

I could not find the LDAP connection classes to compile this. Can you tell me where i can get the classes to compile this code?

[Bumbsiii]

I don´t know exactly which documentation this was.
It were definitely the novell ldap libraries, I think this one:

Novell LDAP Extended Library
