Hi Jessica,

It's a late response but I hope it helps. 

An Organizational Unit (OU) is also a Container object, so in that sense maybe you should pass the OU path as Container.

In my project, I needed to connect to the local ActiveDirectory of a client. I started with the AD component as well, but then switched to the LDAP Forge component as it provided better flexibility and ease of use. I recommend it if you are able to use it in your project.

I use the Search action of that component. It might need some customization to fit your needs, but it should work out-of-the-box. And it doesn't take Container as input parameter; just username, password and path for the server.

The path should look something like this: [LDAP Server Path + OU Path]

ldap://machinename.company.local:389/OU=Users,OU=AnotherOrgUnit,DC=CompanyName,DC=local
