Re: Updating Active Directory Attr-TerminalServicesProfilePath

According to this:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5410865

"terminal services user settings are stored in a binary blob of data
stored in the userParameters attributes."

Looking at the links provided in the post, you might be able to cobble
together something...

But it'd probably be easier to build a .NET application that does the
actual updates that your i can talk to.

I have a java program that runs on the System I that updates various Active Directory Attributes with values found in our HR system.

I have been asked to do an update to the TerminalServicesProfilePath attribute, but my regular methods do not seem to be able to update or retrieve the value of this attribute.

Has anyone done this, and could you provide me a sample of how I can get this attr updated from within my Java Program?  I have googled and searched, but cannot find a Java solution.

  I am providing a sample of my program on how I currently update other values.  I have only supplied a sample of 2 mods to reduce the source side.  This Java program is called from a CLP file read loop and is executed for each active employee.

String strDN = args[0];
String parm01 = args[1];
String parm02 = args[2];

env.put(
Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
//set security credentials, note using simple cleartext authentication
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, adminName);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, adminPassword);
//connect to my domain controller
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://boedc001.kcmsd.int:389";);
try
{
// Create the initial directory context
LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
// Set Attribute values
ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[23];

mods[0] =
new ModificationItem(
DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,
new BasicAttribute("department", parm01.trim() + " "));
mods[1] =
new ModificationItem(
DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,
new BasicAttribute(
"departmentNumber",
parm02.trim() + " "));

userName = strDN;
// Perform the update
ctx.modifyAttributes(userName, mods);
//tls.close();
ctx.close();
