alexarnoldy / 389-ds-LDAP-data-tools

This is a collection of very simple tools to search and update a 389-ds LDAP server container or K8s deployment

• (Optional) Create a directory to contain these tools and the 389-ds LDAP server container: mkdir -p ~/389-ds-ldap-server && cd $_

• Clone this repository: git clone [e-mail]:alexarnoldy/389-ds-LDAP-data-tools.git && cd 389-ds-LDAP-data-tools

• Use an editor to update the container_variables.txt file to fit your environment

• Install LDAP client tools on a system that can access the LDAP server (the local system if INSTANCE_NAME is localhost): sudo zypper -n install openldap2-client

Note	Sourcing the container_variables.txt file before each command ensures the correct variables are available for each command invocation

Note	This section of the CaaS Platform administration guide contains examples for managing OU’s, users, and groups: https://documentation.suse.com/suse-caasp/4.0.2/single-html/caasp-admin/#_adding_a_new_organizational_unit

Caution

These tools must be run in the same directory as the container_variable.txt file

Note	The next update to this repo will move the container_variable.txt file to the ~/389-ds-ldap-server directory so both tools and server repos can point to the same file
