Hi,

how have I to use the Value %memberof% to get the group name instead of the DN?

Thanks

Hello Boris,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to get the name of a group an object is a member of using the %memberOf% value reference. The memberOf property is of DN syntax, moreover, it is multi-valued. Value references for multi-valued properties resolve into a single random value of the property.

If you need to get the names of groups a user is a member of, a PowerShell script should be used. For us to assist you, please, describe the desired behavior in all the possible details with live examples and screenshots.

Hi,

thanks for your respone. We have the request from the departments that team leaders can use Adaxes to query which groups an employee is in. The result should be sent to the requester by mail.

Thanks Boris

Hello Boris,

It can be done using a custom command and a PowerShell script. For us to help you with the script, please, provide an example of the email that should be delivered. If you cannot post it here, please, send the example to support@adaxes.com.

As another option, you can use a built-in report, Users' membership in groups. It can be generated in the Web interface or scheduled for email delivery.
