How to connect to specific fields in AD

[scromer]

Hi.  I think my issue is fairly easy  (for you guys 🙂   )      So the company I work for uses employee IDs for many of our logons,  ID providers, etc.    I get tired of having to log into AD, find the user, and then navigate to appropriate tab to get the user ID .   I'm trying to build the most basic of apps that will allow me to type in the name, see the ID number.  That's it!  

I've added a connector of MSOffice365Users as that appears to be the closest thing I can come to AD (not azure AD, but the original MS AD).  The field I need to get the data from is placed in the user properties , under the ACCOUNT tab, in the field  of 

"User Logon name (pre-Windows 2000):

__XXX\____________________________     ______(this is the field I need right here)________________________________  

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi @scromer ,

To create a simple app for fetching an employee ID from Active Directory, follow these steps:

Use the Office365Users connector.
Create a text input to enter the user's name.
Add a button to search for the user ID based on the name.
Place a label to display the ID.
Set the button’s OnSelect function to:

Set(varUser, Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: TextInput1.Text}))

Set the label’s Text function to:

varUser.mailNickname

This assumes mailNickname corresponds to the "pre-Windows 2000" login name. If this isn't the case, or if you need a different field from AD, you might need a custom connector or additional steps based on your AD setup. Ensure you have the permissions to access the information.

Please accept this solution if it resolves the issue. ✅

That makes sense!!!   I will try now!!!

It didn't work.   The error that keeps getting returned is " mailNickname not recognized."  I then tried to use the "userLogonName"  field, and that was also not recognized.  Any suggestions on how to map to that specific field?

I got it!  Thank you for setting me on the correct path!!!!
