LDAP name search- reverse lookup by NAME to retrieve TSSACID attribute against TSS backend

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

Want to do a 'reverse lookup' against Top Secret LDAP backend.  Present a NAME and return the ACID assigned to that name.

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

There currently is no way for LDAP to be given an attribute of NAME and to return the ACID.

LDAP requests need a valid DN.  An ACID can be part of the DN.  So you can request any attribute for any valid DN.

NAME is not part of a valid DN, so you can't do the reverse.
