Hi Dan,
For adding users (with Posix Attributes), changing the
userpassword, we are using these scripts :
_For creating users with Posix Attribute :_
create a file for example with the content :
dn: uid=user1, ou=People, dc=example,dc=com
changetype: add
givenName: Sample User
sn: Sample
loginShell: /bin/bash
gidNumber: 500
uidNumber: 10059
mail: user1 at example.com
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: posixAccount
uid: user1
cn: Sample User
homeDirectory: /home/user1
userPassword: {CLEAR}pass123
Then issue the command '/opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin/ldapmodify -a -p 389
-h hostname -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w - -f add.ldif.
[-a refers the action add, -p refers port number (defaults to 389),
After -w you can give the password there itself or if you don't want to
give there give '-' there (the password will be asked), and -f refers
the file which will be followed by the value (add.ldif)].
_Password Modifying script (modi.ldif) :_
dn: uid=genuser3,ou=People, dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: NewRealPassword
./ldapmodify -a -p 389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w - -f modi.ldif
