One of these days I will learn that Friday night is not the best time to
send a question to the list.  :-)

Anyone have any thoughts on the below question?

Thanks in advance,
Thad

Subject: ARERR 3377 (LDAP Errors) and Filter Error Handlers
To: arslist@arslist.org


Hello,

We have an LDAP Vendor form that integrates with Active Directory.  While
trying to add some error trapping, it seems that the errors from LDAP don't
trigger the ARS error handling of filters.  I have a simple filter that
adds a user to the "member" attribute of an AD Group.  It works fine and
has for years.  Today, I added an error handler to that filter so that I
could gracefully deal with situations where the member add failed.  To test
this, I am intentionally trying to add a user to a DN for which my LDAP
account doesn't have access.  I do get this message in the arerror.log (and
on screen) so ARS does recognize it as an error:

"The LDAP operation has failed : Insufficient access (LDAPERR 50)00002098:
SecErr: DSID-03150A48, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0  (ARERR
3377)"

The filter log shows the set field processing on the member field, but
there is no indication of an error other than the last line:

   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.0717 */     Checking
"TRG:ADG:UserDN_AddToGroup" (999)
   <FLTR>    --> Passed -- perform actions
   <FLTR>         0: Set Fields
   <FLTR>               members (536870921) = CN= <userinfo1>^|^CN=
<userinfo2>^|^CN= <userinfo3>
   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.0795 */     End of filter processing
(phase 1) -- Operation - SET on TRG:Active Directory:Group - <snip DN>
   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.1717 */Canceled filter processing due
to error

I added an error message action to test the error handler, and it triggered
as expected:

   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:45:13.6116 */     Checking
"TRG:ADG:UserDN_AddToGroup" (999)
   <FLTR>    --> Passed -- perform actions
   <FLTR>         0: Set Fields
   <FLTR>               members (536870921) = CN= <userinfo1>^|^CN=
<userinfo2>^|^CN= <userinfo3>
   <FLTR>         1: Message
   <FLTR>               test error message.
   <FLTR> **** Error while performing filter action: Error 10000

   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:45:13.6276 */     Checking
"zzz:TempErrorHandler" (999)
   <FLTR>    --> Passed -- perform actions
   <FLTR>         0: Set Fields
   <FLTR>               z1D_Char01 (536870922) = This is the error handler
handling the error.
   <FLTR> **** Filter "zzz:TempErrorHandler": Successfully handled filter

   <FLTR> **** Filter "TRG:ADG:UserDN_AddToGroup"
   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:45:13.6277 */     End of filter processing

   <FLTR> /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:45:13.7246 */Canceled filter processing due
to error

So, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get ARS to "see" the LDAP error
as an error?
Thanks,
Thad
