I am using Net::LDAP to get user information from our Active Directory. I am testing
this with ActiveState perl but will be porting to run on a Unix system. As far as I
have found, Net::LDAP is the only way I can get information out of Active Directory
from a Unix system.
The problem I have is I don't know how to decode objectsid from binary into its string
value. I need objectsid for my application because it is a unique key for each user
and stays the same even if the user's name changes. The Microsoft MSDN site says that
objectsid is in a binary format called octetstring and offers up a complicated looking
C++ program that relies on a Microsoft API call to translate it.
Does anybody know how to translate the value of objectsid using just straight perl and
no Win32 specific stuff?
Thanks
Ray Cordoni
