Script to check if user can bind, then output to file
Hi,
I've been trying to find the answer with no luck. I'm hoping someone can help me. Here's what I need to do:
Run a KSH script that will check:
1. Server (Client) Type (AIX 5.3, 6.1, SUSE, and HP-UX are the possibilities).
2. LDAP.cfg is configured correctly and the ldap client service is running. The way to tell is to see if a user with an account on the LDAP directory can bind from the Server (Client) side. If so, then output to yes.xml.....if no, then output to no.xml. Either way the server name and OS type need to be in the file, separated by commas.
That's it! know the AIX command to check ldap is lsldap -a passwd (ldap_user_id). That's all I know as far as what to do here. I don't need any ldap commands for the other OS types, they are simimar and I can handle that. I just don't know how to collect, validate and output info in a script. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
D

The valid input is in the format like as follows.

2. ensure the r, w, x are in the correct order.
for example: rwxr-xr-x is a valid format.
