Hi,
Is there a way to access active directory information from a DataStage job? If so, are there any plug-ins needed for that?
Thanks

I have heard that 8.0 has a plugin/methodology to access it directly. In earlier versions, no. But a combination of java packs and webservices might work.
I access data from AD at my site. What I did was to do an ldap/csvde call in a windows bat script. Spit out the result to a flat file and then ftp it over to my DataStage server. That might be something you want to look at.
Search for csvde in google for exact syntax and usage.

No, though I guess you could use the Java PACK and one of the existing Java applications "out there" to access AD/LDAP from DataStage.
In version 8.x one of the options for user authentication is to use LDAP to access a user registry such as Active Directory. However, this is configured within WebSphere Application Server, and is completely insulated from any Information Server product.
