Viewing Active Directory データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer

How to view Active Directory データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer using the CData ODBC Driver for Active Directory.

最終更新日：2023-06-12

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Active Directory, you gain access to live Active Directory データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update Active Directory データ. This article will walk through connecting to Active Directory using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to Active Directory

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

ActiveDirectory 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

接続には以下の情報が必要です。

有効なユーザーおよびパスワード情報 (例：Domain\BobF or cn=Bob F,ou=Employees,dc=Domain)。
接続するサーバーのIP、ホスト名、ポートを含むサーバー情報。
BaseDN: 指定されたname にLDAP 検索の範囲を制限します。

ちなみに、BaseDN を狭い範囲に設定することで大幅にパフォーマンスを改善できます。例えば、cn=users,dc=domain は、cn=users およびその子の範囲に戻り値の結果を制限します。

Connecting to Active Directory データ Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying Active Directory データ by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for Active Directory and a new VCL Forms Application:

Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
Click Add New Connection.
Enter a name for the connection.
In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for Active Directory.
Back in the Data Explorer, expand the tables for the connection.
Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a table (for example: User) onto the form.
Select the UserTable object on the form and set the Active property to true.
Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).
Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the User data.
