OpenLDAP Quick Tips: Interacting with LDAP from shell scripts by Vincent van Gelder
Friday, December 12. 2008
Hi All,
Here's the 21st tip in the "OpenLDAP Quick Tips" series kindly contributed by Vincent van Gelder.
"You need to carry out LDAP[?] operations using shell scripts".
The following is an example sent in by Vincent van Gelder (you can e-mail your tip to us too):
------------------------
The following script I use when interacting with ldap[?] from shell scripts:
http://members.tripod.com/vgoenka/unixscripts/unldif.sed.txt
Sample script:
The sample script fetches users from ldap whithout a photo and adds a
default photo. Output is a ldif.
It also demonstrates how to add binary attributes from shell using
openssl tool.
The unldif script makes sure the dn is always just one line.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Vincent van Gelder

Thanks,
Gavin.

Either `ldapsearch ... 1.1' or ask it to retrieve a shorter type.
Cheers,
Gavin.
From the manpage:
QUOTE:
-A Retrieve attributes only (no values). This is useful when you just want to see if an attribute is present in an entry and are not interested in the specific values.
for dn in $(ldapsearch -ZZ -LLL -A -b 'ou=Users,ou=Intranet,o=Company,c=NL' -s one '(&(!(jpegPhoto=*))(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))' jpegPhoto \ | unldif | grep '^dn' ) do echo $dn echo "changetype: modify" echo "add: jpegPhoto" echo "jpegPhoto::$(openssl base64 -in $PHOTO | sed 's/^/ /')" echo done
