Response
Below is an example of an XML response to the action:
action=GetGroups&UserName=DOMAIN1%5cJSmith&Repository=NT,eRoom
<responsedata> <Groups>DOMAIN1\GROUPA</Groups> <Groups>DOMAIN1\GROUPB</Groups> <Groups>DOMAIN1\GROUPC</Groups> <Groups>DOMAIN2\GROUPA</Groups> <Groups>DOMAIN2\GROUPB</Groups> <Groups>DOMAIN2\GROUPC</Groups> <GroupCount>6</GroupCount> <UserName>DOMAIN1\JSMITH</UserName> <UserName alias_for="DOMAIN1\JSMITH">JohnS</UserName> <UserName alias_for="DOMAIN1\JSMITH">JS</UserName> <DisplayName>John Smith</DisplayName> <GivenName>John</GivenName> <Surname>Smith</Surname> <mail>john.smith@domain1.com</mail> <Error>Repository 'eRoom' not recognized</Error> </responsedata>
If you set both GroupServerShowAlternativeNames=TRUE
and GroupServerNumberAlternativeNames=TRUE
, the response instead contains:
<UserName>DOMAIN1\JSMITH</UserName> <UserName0>DOMAIN1\JSMITH</UserName0> <UserName1>JohnS</UserName1> <UserName2>JS</UserName2>
TIP: It is expected that the primary username appears twice. The alias_for
attribute is not included.
Setting GroupServerNumberAlternativeNames=TRUE
is not recommended.
