Connecting with Active Directory Server from jira script runners using jira crowd directory service

[Virender Kumar]

We are running Jira version 7.10, and trying to connect with Active Directory Service with jira script runners groovy scripts. I browsed some google links and able to write the below code.

However the code gives the exception with "validated object is Null", on the code execution line "RemoteDirectory mydir = dir.getDirectory(my_directory)".

Any help is much appreciated.
