Hi thanks i am thinking to create ldif file by script .. but i am quite confused how the ldif will be for my structure.. when i do the ldap search i get this ldapsearch -xZZ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 'testtest' -b "ou=users,l=uk,dc=fosiul,dc=lan" uidNumber=1000 # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <ou=users,l=uk,dc=fosiul,dc=lan> with scope subtree # filter: uidNumber=1000 # requesting: ALL # # falam, users, UK, fosiul.lan dn: uid=falam,ou=users,l=UK,dc=fosiul,dc=lan givenName: Fosiul sn: Alam loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 1000 gidNumber: 6000 objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: posixAccount uid: falam cn: Fosiul Alam homeDirectory: /home/falam userPassword:: e1NTSEF9MkpYSGI2bSs3OFk5SlcySG1kOVcxdjFVUFVHMVA3eXI0dFQvZ2c9PQ= = # search result search: 3 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 So Suppose if i want to create a user call "John Smith" what would be my ldif ?? Thanks for the help.
