Method Detail

getGUIDAsString

public static String getGUIDAsString(byte[] inArr)

The returned representation doesn't match AD's string representation, but it doesn't matter as the GUID should be treated as an opaque identifier. Basically, the method is a byte array to hex string. AD chooses to order the hex string in partial reverse, eg. Normal Hex String: 6797e1e5ecb5154f960f865c28c015fa AD Formatted String: e5e19767-b5ec-4f15-960f-865c28c015fa This method returns the "normal" hex string.

Parameters:

inArr - guid

Returns:

guid in byte-string form

convertToADGUID

public static String convertToADGUID(String guid)

Converts the HEX GUID to AD GUID

encodeGUIDForSearch

public static String encodeGUIDForSearch(String guid)

Returns Byte String representation of GUID suitable for search.

Example:

 Input:  6797e1e5ecb5154f960f865c28c015fa
 Result: \67\97\e1\e5\ec\b5\15\4f\96\0f\86\5c\28\c0\15\fa
 

Parameters:

guid - the guid to be used in search

Returns:

byte string encoded form for AD search
