OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals API in Windchill13

[LT_12699133]

Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: wt.org.OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class, String,DirectoryContextProvider) we were using the API OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class, String,DirectoryContextProvider) in WIndchill12. But now in Windchill 13 it is replaced by OrganizationServicesManager.queryPrincipals(Class paramClass, Map<String, List> paramMap, DirectoryContextProvider paramDirectoryContextProvider). Previously parameters what we were passing were of type Class - wt.org.WTUser, String - "uid=" + userid and DirectoryConectProvider. now in new version, it is given as passing map, but not sure what should be the key and what should be the value. Can someone help me through it?

I found this article which you likely found too: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS433891?source=search

Agree just a terrible write up providing no real details. They basically told us to enable debug logging and find out map ourselves. Why not save us the effort? Testing on 12 which not sure is using this, it is VERY chatty. Recommend doing this off hours to do this test and turn off Debug immediately.

Ok here is my run on a WC 13 system:

queryPrincipals(Class, String, DirectoryContextProvider) --> Start

I searched on username "avillanueva" so I think the map is this criteriaMap value it reported back:

criteriaMap:{fullName=[avillanueva], authenticationName=[avillanueva], Operator=[|]}

So this should be a map of three values, fullname, authenticationName and Operator. Looks like it is searching either field. While the docs do say ArrayList<String>, there is only one value for each.

Thank you, I was able to use it like below:

DirectoryContextProvider[] contexts = WTContainerHelper.service.getPublicContextProviders(principalSpec);

 Map<String, List<String>> criteriaMap = new HashMap<>();

criteriaMap.put(WTPrincipal.NAME, new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(name)));

Enumeration results = OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.queryPrincipals(principalClass, criteriaMap, contexts);
