DESCRIPTION
Ldap2Unix is a very simple LDAP to paswd/shadow/group synchroniser.
If you need to authenticate LDAP users to access applications on a UNIX host, then you have two solutions :
1) configure the operating system and/or every local application to lookup the LDAP directory,
2) synchronise local flat-files-directory (/etc/passwd , shadow , group files) with the LDAP directory.
The second solution has no impact on local application's configuration. It allows a simple and clean rollback if needed. This is the goal of Ldap2Unix.
The ldap2unix.pl script may be launched by a schedulled job (cron). It will synchronise local accounts with LDAP accounts.
USAGE
ldap2unix.pl -vhlpbasgd [option]
Options :
-v : prints current version
-h : prints help
-l : ldap server (default: 127.0.0.1)
-p : ldap bind port (default: 389)
-b : base DN (default: dc=darkstar,dc=net)
-a : ldap admin CN (default: cn=admin)
-s : admin pw (default: secret)
-g : group name prefix for ldap users (default: ldapusers)
-d : turn on debug output
Example :
To synchronise :
- from the LDAP server IP : 192.168.1.100
- with base dn : dc=darkstar,dc=net
- using admin account dn : cn=admin,dc=darkstar,dc=net
- login with secret : skywalker
Command line should be :
ldap2unix.pl \
-l 192.168.1.100 \
-b dc=darkstar,dc=net \
-a cn=admin \
-s skywalker
