NAME

ldapedit - Friendly utility to edit UGCS ldap entries

 

SYNOPSIS

ldapedit [-u user]

ldapedit -action field [values ]

ldapedit -add field [value] ...

ldapedit -remove field [value] ...

ldapedit -modify field newvalue

 

DESCRIPTION

ldapedit is a more friendly, but less flexible, alternative to ldapmodify for updating UGCS ldap entries. It can add, remove, or change ldap values. By default it operates on the current user, but that can be changed.

When run without any arguments (except for possibly -u username), it will print out a list of relevant ldap entries for the user (usually you).

It works on any field that is supported for a UGCS user. See our website for a description of common fields.

 

OPTIONS

Specifies that the program should work on the given user instead of whoever is currently logged in

-add entry values
Adds the given values to the entry. This can be used to set multiple values for a field. If the field should only have one value, you might want to use modify

-remove entry [values]
Removes either the entire entry (if no values are supplied), or the specified values from the given entry.

-modify entry newvalue
Updates the given entry so its value is newvalue.

 

EXAMPLES

ldapedit
Display all relevant ldap entries for your user.

ldapedit -modify amavisSpamKillLevel 3
Sets the field amavisSpamKillLevel to 3

ldapedit -add mailAlternateAddress newaddr@ugcs.caltech.edu
Adds newaddr@ugcs.caltech.edu as a mailAlternateAddress
