LDAP - Search for What Groups a Particular User Belongs to

In the last LDAP series post, I mentioned how to search for the members of a group.  Now the opposite, here's how to search for what groups a particular user is a part of:

To do this search, all I do is form a search filter that is searching for all groups that has a particular member in it.  So really this is a slight alteration of the search for all groups.

PS C:\> get-ldap -server testboy -cred $mycred -dn dc=JUNGLE -searchscope wholesubtree 
  -search "(&(member=CN=Lance Robinson,CN=Users,DC=JUNGLE)(objectcategory=group))"

Host                                                        DN
----                                                        --
testboy                                                     CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=JUNGLE
testboy                                                     CN=DnsAdmins,CN=Users,DC=JUNGLE

PS C:\>


Here I can see that I (CN=Lance Robinson,CN=Users,DC=JUNGLE) am a member of two groups:  Domain Admins and DNS Admins.  That sounds a lot cooler than it actually is since "testboy" is just a test machine.  ;)

Gravatar Hi,

Is it possible that we get all groups that particular user belongs to, for both direct and indirect?

Kindly suggest, please.

Thanks & Regards,
Nidjarin
