[brlug-general] ldap question

[Ronnie Gilkey]

Ray,

You should be able to execute this query without the hassle:

#!/bin/sh

ldapsearch -h x.x.x.x -D cn=x,ou=y,o=z -w pass -x -b ou=y,o=z -s sub \
'(slucmsuid=*)' -v mail slucmsuid


If you are trying to gather email addresses and you are getting empty 
email addresses try this:

#!/bin/sh

ldapsearch -h x.x.x.x -D cn=x,ou=y,o=z -w pass -x -b ou=y,o=z -s sub \
'(&(slucmsuid=*)(mail=*))' -v mail slucmsuid
