Java LDAP get Group DN by using CN

Question

I want to get Group DN by using CN. For this I am using below code.

public static String getGroupDNByCN(DirContext ctx, String cn) {
    String groupDN = "";
    String searchFilter = "(&(objectClass=group)(cn=groupCN))";
    try {
        SearchControls searchControls = new SearchControls();
        searchControls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
        NamingEnumeration<SearchResult> resultsGrp = ctx.search("ou=groups,o=data", searchFilter, searchControls);
        while (resultsGrp.hasMoreElements()) {
            SearchResult result = (SearchResult) resultsGrp.next();
            Attributes attrs = result.getAttributes();
            System.out.println("attrs : " + attrs);
            groupDN = attrs.get("distinguishedName").get().toString();
            resultsGrp.nextElement();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception : " + e);
    }

    return groupDN;
}

When I run this I am getting the below values in attrs that I did sysout

{owner=owner: cn=admin,ou=sa,o=system, equivalenttome=equivalentToMe: cn=ksuchostawski,ou=users,o=data, cn=lsazonova,ou=users,o=data, cn=lsazonovatest,ou=users,o=data, cn=mnewuser,ou=users,o=data, cn=mwu,ou=users,o=data, cn=nuser,ou=users,o=data, cn=rdevenyi,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan1,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan2,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan21,ou=users,o=data, cn=staylor,ou=users,o=data, cn=stest,ou=users,o=data, cn=suser,ou=users,o=data, cn=cgrugina,ou=users,o=data, cn=crugina,ou=users,o=data, cn=ddev1,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro1,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro2,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro21,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro4,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro5,ou=users,o=data, objectclass=objectClass: groupOfNames, Top, acl=ACL: 2#entry#[Root]#member, cn=cn: pcvc, member=member: cn=ksuchostawski,ou=users,o=data, cn=lsazonova,ou=users,o=data, cn=lsazonovatest,ou=users,o=data, cn=mnewuser,ou=users,o=data, cn=mwu,ou=users,o=data, cn=nuser,ou=users,o=data, cn=rdevenyi,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan1,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan2,ou=users,o=data, cn=sbudan21,ou=users,o=data, cn=staylor,ou=users,o=data, cn=stest,ou=users,o=data, cn=suser,ou=users,o=data, cn=cgrugina,ou=users,o=data, cn=crugina,ou=users,o=data, cn=ddev1,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro1,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro2,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro21,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro4,ou=users,o=data, cn=dpro5,ou=users,o=data}

In the above Attributes there is no distinguishedName attribute. Please help me how can I get Group DN by using CN.

I am using Java and NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 v20810.20.

You need to use the getNameInNamespace() method for JNDI.

SO like:

groupDN = result.getNameInNamespace();
