    OpenLDAP Quick Tips: Use ldapvi!

    Monday, November 24. 2008

    Open Source OpenLDAP Suretec
    Hi All,

    Here's my 9th tip in the "OpenLDAP Quick Tips" series:

    "You want to edit data in your directory server, but only have command line access":

    When you want to quickly edit some data and don't want to use the ldap[?]* command line tools that come with OpenLDAP, why not grab ldapvi:

    ldapvi is an interactive LDAP[?] client for Unix terminals. Using it, you can update LDAP entries with a text editor.
    Think of it as vipw(1) for LDAP.


    Thanks,

    Gavin.

    *For those who've never seen *ldapvi*, I wrote about it some time ago and included a screen shot of what it looks like. It might help to get your readers attracted to the excellent tool.

    *Trackbacks seem to be non-functional, so... Thanks for the ldapvi tip - applied it to OpenSSO. Your spam prevention doesn't let me include the URL, so just go to my homepage and take a look if you're interested.

    *Thanks Pat, weird.

    We approved the trackback but for some reason it went under:

    See the comments column at the top left. Some strange unresolvable url.

    Thanks,

    Gavin.
