SDK Authentication : ADS and CAMID

Question & Answer

Question

What is the hexadecimal number in an Active Directory Server CAMID ? This information is useful to retrieve CAMID without using the SDK.

Answer

Consider this example :
CAMID("Active Directory":u:77157680823f104a99282f4101bfc1bd)
where "Active Directory" is the NamespaceID and 77157680823f104a99282f4101bfc1bd is the user ObjectGUID , signified by the colon separators with the "u" in between.

You can find the ObjectGUID in the user properties in the ADS management tools.
It is possible for instance , to create a burst table to automatically burst with this information in IBM Cognos

For further information on CAMID and the potential use of these parameters , consult the IBM Cognos Custom Authentication and SDK Developer Guides.
