GetUserUnixProfileByUid
Returns the UNIX profile for a user in this computer zone given the user identifier (UID).
Syntax
IHierarchicalUser GetUserUnixProfileByUid(int uid)
IHierarchicalUser GetUserUnixProfileByUid(long uid)
Parameter
Specify the following parameter when using this method:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
uid
|
The user identifier (UID) associated with the Active Directory user. |
Return value
The user profile for the specified UID in the computer zone, or null if none is
found.
Discussion
If there are multiple user profiles with the UID specified, this method returns
only the first user profile found. To find all user profiles with a specific
UID, use the GetUserUnixProfiles method to return the collection of profiles for
a computer, then search the collection for the UID.
There are two versions of this method: one designed for COM-based programs that supports a 32-bit signed number for the uid argument and one designed for .NET-based programs that allows a 64-bit signed number for the uid argument. These methods are provided for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Delinea software. These methods are not applicable for version 4.0 or later.
Exceptions
GetUserUnixProfileByUid may throw one of the following exceptions:
-
ArgumentExceptionif you specify a negative UID. -
NotSupportedExceptionif the computer zone schema is not supported.
