I am trying to enable a user in Active Directory with LDAP and Java (1.4). However, I keep getting the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.c_modifyAttributes (LdapCtx.java:1432) in com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.ComponentDirContext.p_modifyAttributes (ComponentDir Context.java25: .jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.modifyAttributes (Partial CompositeDirContext.java:172) in com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.modifyAttributes. Partial CompositeDirContext.jial16.j (InitialDirContext. Java: 146) at be.ideal.LDAP.newuser.main (newuser.java:61) Exception from thread "main"
I have already confirmed that my user has a password, I just can’t change his status to active
My code is:
public static void main(String[] args) { String userName = "cn=Albert Einstein,ou=Accounts,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE"; String groupName = "cn=Administrators,cn=Roles,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE"; boolean isDisabled = false; try { System.out.println("Creating initial directory context..."); LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(X_Ldap.getEnvironment(), null); Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true); attrs.put("objectClass", "user"); attrs.put("cn", "Albert Einstein"); String newQuotedPassword = "\"Pass123\""; byte[] newUnicodePassword = newQuotedPassword.getBytes("UTF-16LE"); attrs.put(new BasicAttribute("unicodePwd", newUnicodePassword)); attrs.put(new BasicAttribute("msDS-UserAccountDisabled", "FALSE")); System.out.println("Creating context..."); Context result = ctx.createSubcontext(userName, attrs); System.out.println("Created account for: " + userName); System.out.println("Creating context..."); Context result = ctx.createSubcontext(userName, attrs); System.out.println("Created account for: " + userName); try { ModificationItem member[] = new ModificationItem[1]; member[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.ADD_ATTRIBUTE, new BasicAttribute("member", userName)); ctx.modifyAttributes(groupName, member); System.out.println("Added user to group: " + groupName); } catch (NamingException e) { System.err.println("Problem adding user to group: " + e); } ctx.close(); System.out.println("Successfully created User: " + userName); } catch (NamingException e) { System.err.println("Problem creating object: " + e); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Problem creating object: " + e); } }
PS: I am using AD LDS for my active directory
