Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript DirectoryServiceData Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

Amazon Web Services Directory Service Data is an extension of Directory Service. This API reference provides detailed information about Directory Service Data operations and object types.

With Directory Service Data, you can create, read, update, and delete users, groups, and memberships from your Managed Microsoft AD without additional costs and without deploying dedicated management instances. You can also perform built-in object management tasks across directories without direct network connectivity, which simplifies provisioning and access management to achieve fully automated deployments. Directory Service Data supports user and group write operations, such as CreateUser and CreateGroup, within the organizational unit (OU) of your Managed Microsoft AD. Directory Service Data supports read operations, such as ListUsers and ListGroups, on all users, groups, and group memberships within your Managed Microsoft AD and across trusted realms. Directory Service Data supports adding and removing group members in your OU and the Amazon Web Services Delegated Groups OU, so you can grant and deny access to specific roles and permissions. For more information, see Manage users and groups in the Directory Service Administration Guide.

Directory management operations and configuration changes made against the Directory Service API will also reflect in Directory Service Data API with eventual consistency. You can expect a short delay between management changes, such as adding a new directory trust and calling the Directory Service Data API for the newly created trusted realm.

Directory Service Data connects to your Managed Microsoft AD domain controllers and performs operations on underlying directory objects. When you create your Managed Microsoft AD, you choose subnets for domain controllers that Directory Service creates on your behalf. If a domain controller is unavailable, Directory Service Data uses an available domain controller. As a result, you might notice eventual consistency while objects replicate from one domain controller to another domain controller. For more information, see What gets created in the Directory Service Administration Guide. Directory limits vary by Managed Microsoft AD edition:

• Standard edition – Supports 8 transactions per second (TPS) for read operations and 4 TPS for write operations per directory. There's a concurrency limit of 10 concurrent requests.

• Enterprise edition – Supports 16 transactions per second (TPS) for read operations and 8 TPS for write operations per directory. There's a concurrency limit of 10 concurrent requests.

• Amazon Web Services Account - Supports a total of 100 TPS for Directory Service Data operations across all directories.

Directory Service Data only supports the Managed Microsoft AD directory type and is only available in the primary Amazon Web Services Region. For more information, see Managed Microsoft AD and Primary vs additional Regions in the Directory Service Administration Guide.

Installing

To install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:

• npm install @aws-sdk/client-directory-service-data
• yarn add @aws-sdk/client-directory-service-data
• pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-directory-service-data

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the DirectoryServiceDataClient and the commands you need, for example ListGroupsCommand:

// ES5 example
const { DirectoryServiceDataClient, ListGroupsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-directory-service-data");

// ES6+ example
import { DirectoryServiceDataClient, ListGroupsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-directory-service-data";

Usage

To send a request:

• Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
  • See docs/CLIENTS for configuration details.
  • See @aws-sdk/config for additional options.
• Instantiate a command with input parameters.
• Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.

const client = new DirectoryServiceDataClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = { /** input parameters */ };
const command = new ListGroupsCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using the await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

DirectoryServiceData extends DirectoryServiceDataClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (DirectoryServiceDataClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

import { DirectoryServiceData } from "@aws-sdk/client-directory-service-data";

const client = new DirectoryServiceData({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.listGroups(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .listGroups(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.listGroups(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
