Reading a Directory Object

The following code example retrieves the Jeff Smith user object from the fabrikam.com LDAP directory.

<se:Envelope xmlns:se="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <se:Body xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
	<batchRequest>
		 <searchRequest dn="cn=Jeff Smith,ou=Sales,dc=fabrikam,dc=com" scope="baseObject" derefAliases="neverDerefAliases">
			<filter>
			 <present name="objectclass"/>
			</filter>
		 </searchRequest>
	</batchRequest>
   </se:Body>
</se:Envelope>

The <se:Envelope> and <se:Body> SOAP elements enclose the DSML payload. The first element of the DSML payload, <batchRequest>, is the mandatory top-level element for all DSML V2 requests. The <searchRequest> element requests the Jeff Smith user object from the fabrikam.com directory.
