Hi,

Firstly, system info:

Linux mysystem 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 00:45:55 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am running ldap on Centos with packages openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 y openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 I'd want to perform a query that return one attribute. So I did something as follows:

ldapsearch -W -f qbis.ldif -D "cn=Manager,dc=palermo,dc=edu" -b "ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=edu" -x legajo

(Where legajo is the filter)

There is no problem with filter but wih the file "qbis.ldif" which contains:

dn: uid=jdoe,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=edu

Of course I could perform that query with no need of one file, but I need to get "legajo" from around 800 users so it would be nice to be able to use "-f file". I cannot do something like a "loop for" because it would ask me every time the Manager password.

Am I doing something wrong or is a ldap bug?

Thanks in advance!

Ouch, I forget to comment what is the problem, well the problem is that query returns all database entries (onlt it works the filter) but doesn't honor "-f file" at all. So that was my question, what's wrong with that option?

---- I don't know because I haven't figured out how the 'f' option would be useful to me but I think the way you are trying to do it is clunky...

#!/bin/sh # # usage - myldap-search user # LDAP_PASSWD="whatever" BINDDN="cn=Manager,dc=palermo,dc=edu" BASEDN="ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=edu" for i in `cat users.txt` do; USER_PASSWD = ldapsearch -x\ -w $LDAP_PASSWORD \ -D $BINDDN \ -b uid=$0","$BASEDN \ legajo done

or to do a whole shot of users

#!/bin/sh # # input file of users = users.txt # LDAP_PASSWD="whatever" BINDDN="cn=Manager,dc=palermo,dc=edu" BASEDN="ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=edu" for i in `cat users.txt` do; USER_PASSWD = ldapsearch -x\ -w $LDAP_PASSWORD \ -D $BINDDN \ -b $BASEDN \ legajo echo $i \t $USER_PASSWD >> /tmp/ldap-output.txt done

Something like that should do it - untested
