So I took the snipped of code posted by Hejahida82 and combined it a modified version of the built in action com.vmware.vra.ad\getPolicyConfig. The end result, grab the subtentantId from the blueprint, find the ad policy (name) associated with the business group, then lookup the AD policy to grab the distinguishedName property value. This is working in vra 7.6.
If anyone us curious, the reason I needed the DN is so I can use this as a parent OU. Then iterate through the sub OUs, and build a list to allow a user to select where to provision their VM in Active Directory.
It would probably be better to allow for a user to do this visually using the tree value picker element, but I didn't see a way to limit the tree to a specific parent OU. If anyone has ideas on this, I have a thread on that located here: Custom Form - Tree Value Picker - Can I set the viewable scope?
var subtenantId = System.getContext().getParameter("__asd_subtenantRef");
var cafeHost = Server.findAllForType("vCACCAFE:VCACHost")[0];
//get the vCACCAFEBusinessGroup object(shown under Business Group (Deprecated) in the vRO inventory viewer)
var businessGroup = vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getBusinessGroup(cafeHost, subtenantId);
//get the custom properties of the business group object
var adPolicyName =[];
var properties = businessGroup.customProperties;
for each (var prop in properties){ if(prop.name == 'ext.policy.activedirectory.system.id'){ //the custom property name matches the AD Policy property name adPolicyName.push(prop.value); System.log('Found AD Policy assigned to BG with name: ' + prop.value); }
}
if (!adPolicyName.length){throw "Business group does not have AD policy assigned!"}
if (adPolicyName.length > 1){throw "Business group returned multiple Active Directory Policies!"}
// Create REST client to ASD service
var restClient = cafeHost.createAdvancedDesignerClient();
var policyObject = null;
try {
// Get request expanding template variables in order. policyObject = restClient.getWithVariables("policies/hrid/{hrid}", [adPolicyName[0]]).getBodyAsJson();
} catch (error) { throw "No policy with id '" + adPolicyName[0] + "' found. Error: " + error;
}
var ret = {};
// grab the values in the the AD policy
for each(prop in policyObject.properties.entries) {
var val = prop.value ? prop.value.value : null; switch(prop.key) { case "ext.policy.activedirectory.domain": ret.domainName = val; break; case "ext.policy.activedirectory.orgunit": ret.ouDN = val; break; case "ext.policy.activedirectory.endpoint.id": ret.adHostId = val; break; default: System.log("Unrecognized property '" + prop.key + "' with value = '" + val); }
}
return ret;
