Reviewing the code
The following table describes the code:
Code Description
<cfset myServer="ldap.myco.com">
<cfset myUserName="cn=Directory
Manager">
<cfset myPassword="password">
Initializes the LDAP connection information
variables. Uses variables for all connection
information so that any changes have to be made in
only one place.
<cfparam name="fullNameValue"
default="">
<cfparam name="surnameValue"
default="">
<cfparam name="emailValue"
default="">
<cfparam name="phoneValue"
default="">
<cfparam name="uidValue" default="">
Sets the default values of empty strings for the form
field value variables. The data entry form uses
cfinput fields with
value
attributes so that the
form can be prefilled and so that, if the user submits
an incomplete form, ColdFusion can retain any
entered values in the form when it redisplays the
page.
<cfif isdefined("Form.action") AND
Trim(Form.uid) IS NOT "">
Ensures that the user entered a User ID in the form.
<cfif Form.action is "add"> If the user clicks Add, processes the code that
follows.
