LDAP users need to be registered first with the RegisterPrincipalsCommand before they can be looked up with the LookupAMPrincipalCommand().
Resolution
principal.setWindowsPassword("Password123!"); removed from this sample code, not needed.
Workaround
...
PrincipalDTO user = lookupUser("Andele"); //unregistered LDAP user
System.out.println("unregistered GUID is " + user.getGuid());
register LDAP user
RegisterPrincipalsCommand register = new RegisterPrincipalsCommand();
register.setPrincipalGuids(new String [] {user.getGuid()});
register.execute();
//now should see ims GUID
user = lookupUser("Andele");
System.out.println("GUID after registering is " + user.getGuid());
//now create AMPrincipal object
AMPrincipalDTO principal = new AMPrincipalDTO();
principal.setGuid(user.getGuid());
principal.setBadPasscodes(3);
principal.setDefaultShell("/bin/sh");
principal.setDefaultUserIdShellAllowed(true);
//principal.setStaticPassword("12345678");
//principal.setStaticPasswordSet(true);
AddAMPrincipalCommand cmd = new AddAMPrincipalCommand(principal);
cmd.execute();
//must register and execute AddAMPrincipalCommand
LookupAMPrincipalCommand amp = new LookupAMPrincipalCommand();
amp.setGuid(user.getGuid());
amp.execute();Notes
