what is the best way to a new user and put him in to few groups?
 

well that really depends on what you are comfortable doing as far as code
an ldif piped the the ldap modify command is probably the easiest to
write however you could make something far more robust with the
NET::LDAP Perl module.
The one bad note about the Net::Ldap Perl module is it tends to take a
lot of lines of code to implement things that should be rather simple.
On the bright side there are a ton of other tools for 389 server that
were written using the module so there is a lot of examples and
experienced programers you can draw on for assistance.

The best way in my opinion is to generate template using migration tools. Then when you want to add new user use sed to modify it and pipe result to ldapmodify or target it with -a option in ldapadd command. New passwords you can generate using slappasswd or ldappasswd (after user is added to ldap). Please rea man pages of this commands. Slappasswd is part of openldap-severs.



You could use echo to write the same content to ldif file but is this a big diference? If you prefer using echo this way is still good because you will get example user ldif.

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:: e1NTSEF9MkpYSGI2bSs3OFk5SlcySG1kOVcxdjFVUFVHMVA3eX I0dFQvZ2c9PQ=
=

# 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.
