ADS_NAME_TYPE_ENUM enumeration (iads.h)

The ADS_NAME_TYPE_ENUM enumeration specifies the formats used for representing distinguished names. It is used by the IADsNameTranslate interface to convert the format of a distinguished name.

Syntax

typedef enum __MIDL___MIDL_itf_ads_0001_0050_0001 {
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_CANONICAL = 2,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_DISPLAY = 4,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_DOMAIN_SIMPLE = 5,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_ENTERPRISE_SIMPLE = 6,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_GUID = 7,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_UNKNOWN = 8,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_USER_PRINCIPAL_NAME = 9,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_CANONICAL_EX = 10,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME = 11,
  ADS_NAME_TYPE_SID_OR_SID_HISTORY_NAME = 12
} ADS_NAME_TYPE_ENUM;

Constants

 
ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779
Value: 1
Name format as specified in RFC 1779. For example, "CN=Jeff Smith,CN=users,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_CANONICAL
Value: 2
Canonical name format. For example, "Fabrikam.com/Users/Jeff Smith".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4
Value: 3
Account name format used in Windows. For example, "Fabrikam\JeffSmith".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_DISPLAY
Value: 4
Display name format. For example, "Jeff Smith".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_DOMAIN_SIMPLE
Value: 5
Simple domain name format. For example, "JeffSmith@Fabrikam.com".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_ENTERPRISE_SIMPLE
Value: 6
Simple enterprise name format. For example, "JeffSmith@Fabrikam.com".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_GUID
Value: 7
Global Unique Identifier format. For example, "{95ee9fff-3436-11d1-b2b0-d15ae3ac8436}".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_UNKNOWN
Value: 8
Unknown name type. The system will estimate the format. This element is a meaningful option only with the IADsNameTranslate.Set or the IADsNameTranslate.SetEx method, but not with the IADsNameTranslate.Get or IADsNameTranslate.GetEx method.
ADS_NAME_TYPE_USER_PRINCIPAL_NAME
Value: 9
User principal name format. For example, "JeffSmith@Fabrikam.com".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_CANONICAL_EX
Value: 10
Extended canonical name format. For example, "Fabrikam.com/Users Jeff Smith".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME
Value: 11
Service principal name format. For example, "www/www.fabrikam.com@fabrikam.com".
ADS_NAME_TYPE_SID_OR_SID_HISTORY_NAME
Value: 12
A SID string, as defined in the Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL), for either the SID of the current object or one from the object SID history. For example, "O:AOG:DAD:(A;;RPWPCCDCLCSWRCWDWOGA;;;S-1-0-0)" For more information, see Security Descriptor String Format.

Remarks

Code examples written in C++, Visual Basic, and VBS/ASP can be found in the discussions of the IADsNameTranslate interface.

Because VBScript cannot read data from a type library, an application must use the appropriate numeric constants, instead of the symbolic constants, to set the appropriate flags. To use the symbolic constants as a good programming practice, write explicit declarations of such constants, as done here, in VBScript applications.
