Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory Multiple LDAP Configurations

[jlucas4]

I am having a problem using the ldapfilter and ldapgroup commands from the SA-ldapsearch app to work with multiple domains. I started by putting in junk information for the default configuration and setting up a configuration for DOMAINA.

When I test connection to DOMAINA, connection succeeds. In fact, the ldapsearch command works perfectly fine. However, when I run this search:
dest_nt_domain="DOMAINA" eventtype=msad-successful-user-logons
| stats max(_time) by dest_nt_domain,user
|ldapfilter domain="DOMAINA" search="(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=$user$))" attrs="cn,userPrincipalName" logging_level="DEBUG" debug=true

I get this error:

External search command 'ldapfilter' returned error code 1. Script output = "error_message=AttributeError at "C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\SA-ldapsearch\bin\packages\app_init_.py", line 325 : 'LDAPSocketOpenError' object has no attribute 'replace' ".

Here are the entries from SA-ldapsearch.log:

From what I can tell. It looks like when I use ldapfilter for DOMAINA, it ignores the corresponding configuration and instead uses the default configuration. I confirmed that by configuring the default domain to match DOMAINA and running ldapfilter on DOMAINA, and ldapfilter works for DOMAINA.

I think it's a problem with the Python files, but I don't know what changes to make.

I have the same problem when running ldapgroup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just figured this issue out. Apparently, even though the 'default' domain should never be used, if you don't have a valid configuration in that value, ldapfilter and ldapgroup will fail, though everything else will work correctly.
